I don't get what i'm do wrong in phyton objects score challenge

I think that my code is good and I did test it and it worked. so where is the problem and why system is not accepting the answer?? thank you guys allready

game.py
class Game:
  def __init__(self):
    self.current_score = self.score()

  def score(self):
    playeScore = [0, 0]
    player = input("1, or 2: ")
    if player in '12':
        if player == '1':
            playeScore[0] += 1
            return playeScore
        else:
            playeScore[1] += 1
            return playeScore
    else:
        return player

I think you were reading more complexity into the challenge. The object oriented python course score method challenge asks:

Add a score method to Game that takes a player argument that'll 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).

Breaking that down. "Add a score method to Game...." You got that correct by adding:

def score(self):

"...that takes a player argument...." Here you needed to add an argument to the method:

def score(self, player):

"... that'll 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). "

See comments in the code:

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

  def score(self, player):
    # Check if player value is 1
    if player == 1:
        # using index 0, increase player 1 score by 1
        self.current_score[0] += 1
    # Check if player value is 2
    elif player == 2:
        # using index 1, increase player 2 score by 1
        self.current_score[1] += 1

I tried this but got "Did you create the 'score' method?

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

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

Another way to do it is:

def self(self, player):
    player -= 1
    self.current_score[player] += 1

Not really protecting yourself from arguments that isn't 1 or 2 though.

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

I like how you did that

in one line: def score(self, player): self.current_score[player - 1] += 1

I'll try that again:

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

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

Nevermind I got it by entering this:

class Game:

def init(self): self.current_score = [0, 0] self.player = 1

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