Code challenge: Score Method

The challenge:

Add a score method to Game that takes a player argument. The player argument will be either 1 or 2. Increase that player's value in self.current_score by 1. You'll need to adjust the index (i.e. player = 1 means self.current_score[0] needs to increase).

Here is my code, INCLUDING THE SCORE METHOD:

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

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

Yet, I get this extremely informative error:

Bummer! Did you create the score method?

What is the problem here?

The argument passed to your method here doesn't come from within your class, so it should just be player, instead of self.player. Hope this helps, Matt

Oh... You're right. That solved it. I wish this would have been the error message instead of "Bummer" :) Thanks!
