Bummer! Did you create the `score` method?

What am I missing? I don't understand why I am getting this error message. It looks to me like I have created the 'score' method. Am I way off base or what? Can someone please help?

game.py 
class Game:

  def score(self, player):
    player = input("Input 1 or 2: ")
    return player

  def __init__(self):
    self.current_score[player - 1] += 1

Hey Ladonna,

You are doing great! You are just dealing with something confusing.

You are suppose to create your method after the constructor method. Also you need to make decisions, so I used the if statement. So if player is 1, I am increasing index [0], if it is player 2 I am increasing index [1]. Here is an example. 

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

  def score(self, player):
    if player == 1:
      self.current_score[0] += 1
    elif player == 2:
      self.current_score[1] += 1

Keep in mind that we are representing/storing the current score of player 1 as index [0] and player 2 as index [1]. This worked for me :)

Hi Dan, I was working on this problem and got the same code you did independently. However, my code does not work. It actually gives the same error message of Bummer! did you create the score method?

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

  def score(self, ind):
    if ind == 1:
      self.current_score[0] += 1
    elif ind == 2:
      self.current_Score[1] += 1

any ideas? sorry to sorta hijack the thread.
