createPlayers()

Can I create the object in the players list by using code as below? I am not really sure when we should use .push() and when use array[index] to assign the value.

createPlayers() {
        this.players.push(new Player("Player 1","1","#e15258",true));
        this.players.push(new Player("Player 2","2","#e59a13"));
     }

Hi!

Your code:

createPlayers() {
        this.players.push(new Player("Player 1","1","#e15258",true));
        this.players.push(new Player("Player 2","2","#e59a13"));
     }

In the video, this.players is assigned to the function createPlayers(). In your code, you call "push" on "this.players". This won't work because push is a behavior that exists on arrays, not functions.
