Anyone have any advise? Not looking for answer, i just need someone to steer me in the right direction. Newbie here!

I am having a hard time on this Challenge, not really understanding what the challenge wants me to do. Any advise would be great.

Thanks!

game.py 
class Game:
  def __init__(self):
    self.current_score = [0, 0]

  def score(self):
    player = self.current_score[0]

Hi,

This question is asking you to write a score method for increasing the current score of a player. Your score method should take in an additional player argument that will be either a 1 or 2. If the argument contains 1 then it represents player 1 and you should increase the score of player 1. If it contains 2 then it represents player 2 and you should increase the score of player 2.

player = 1 means add 1 to self.current_score[0] player = 2 means add 1 to self.current_score[1]

Thank you Hanley! , This one worked for me:

def score(self,player): if player == 1: self.current_score[0] += 1 else: self.current_score[1] += 1
