Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 644 PointsHaving trouble adjusting the game score once the player collects the poison or star.
Nothing is happening when using this below.
// when the player collects an item on the screen function itemHandler(player, item) { item.kill(); if (item.key === 'coin') { currentScore = currentScore + 10; } else if (item.key === 'poison') { currentScore === currentScore - 25; } else if (item.key === 'star') { currentScore === currentScore + 25;
} if (currentScore === winningScore) { createBadge(); } }

243,160 PointsRemember that two or three equal signs are comparison operators. They evaluate things but make no changes.
To change a value, you would use the assignment operator, which is just one equal sign. Look at the code that adds 10 points for a coin as an example.
