I don't quite understand the last code Jeremy wrote

What dose this code mean exactly? Does it mean that if IsNeutralized or HasScored return false then Invader is active?

public bool IsActive =>!(IsNeutralized ||HasScored );

public bool IsActive =>!(IsNeutralized ||HasScored );

in pseudocode is says :

if IsNeutralized is true or HasScored is true, IsActive is set to False. But as Long as both return false, invader is active.

Hope that helped.

Yes, Kent is correct. We declare a boolean which returns either true or false. The '!' or 'not' operator makes it so that if the invader is not neutralized or has not made it to the end of the path, it returns true and tells the game that the invader is still alive. I have not continued with the development of the game as of this point, but this looks like a value that could be used later on when we program different methods such as feedback like 'You lose!' or 'You win!'
