createPlayers() has error in Game.js (Connect Four Game)

Where is the link on how to markup code?

Here's the code in the meantime:

createPlayers(){
    const players = [new Player('Player 1', '#e15258', 1, true ),
                     new Player('Player 2', #e59a13, 2)];
    return players;
}

Here's the error:

-private fields cannot be accessed without an explicit 'this.' qualifier

Hi Jonathan, thanks for reaching out about this. I just downloaded the project files for this course, and the final version of the project files aren't showing any errors. So I think the issues is with how you are referencing the code in question, rather than the supplied code itself.

And for future reference, here's a friendly suggestion. The more info you can provide in your post, the more likely we are to be able to find the root of the problem and provide you with a helpful response. For example, sharing an actual link to the video or code challenge in question is a big help. Providing the full error message, including line numbers is helpful as well. And then linking either to your workspce, or codepen, or fiddle, or best of all, a GitHub repo of your code can make a world of difference.

Thanks Jonathan, and please have a great rest of your day! :)
