Help in Challenge Object-Oriented Python. :-(

Hi, I think that i don't understand what I need to do

Tha'ts my code: 

class Game:
  def __init__(self):
    self.current_score = [0, 0]
  def score(player):
    player.current_score[0] += 1
    player.current_score[1] += 1

The main problem is I know that it works, but i have no idea is this what I need to do :-p You are asking to increase in 1 the current_score, but current_score is a tuple with 2 values in...

Right, I want you to increase the player I give you's score by 1. So if I say 1, you'd increase Player 1's score (self.current_score[0] += 1).

How do you think I could make the instruction more clear?

Hi kenneth

The main problem Is my English :-) and that I didn't remember that we have 2 players in the first Challenge.

Maybe indicate that the first position in the tuple is for player one, and second for player two.

Thanks for your answer! I'm really enjoying your courses.

Just a question, I'm using python in the appengine by google. Do you, or treehouse, have any plans to cover appengine in the future?

By the way, I'm really expecting for more advanced python courses, maybe using DB's. :-)

I'll add some comments about the player positions the next time I'm updating that challenge.

As for your questions, I don't think we'll cover GAE since it's often a really weird version of Python. If you're building something that works with GAE, GAE works great, but when you want to think outside of the GAE box, it often causes way more problems than it's worth.

We'll be covering Python with databases before too much longer, I promise!
