4,202 PointsJavaScript Intro Task #2 Question
I'm getting an error message that my code isn't working even though when I demo it, the life count goes down by 1 when it gets poison. Can someone please help? Here is the link to the challenge for task #2: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/introducing-javascript/finishing-the-game/final-code-challenge
My code is below:
var game; var player; var platforms; var badges; var stars; var poisons; var cursors; var jumpButton; var scoreText; var livesText; var finalMessage; var won = false; var gameOver = false; var currentScore = 0; var lives = 3; var winningScore = 100;
function createStars() { stars = game.add.physicsGroup();
starCreate(425, 100, 'star');
starCreate(315, 100, 'star');
starCreate(175, 200, 'star');
starCreate(200, 400, 'star');
starCreate(250, 550, 'star');
}
function createPoisons() { poisons = game.add.physicsGroup();
poisonCreate(675, 275, 'poison');
poisonCreate(450, 375, 'poison');
poisonCreate(375, 475, 'poison');
}

platforms.create(500, 350, 'platform');
platforms.create(400, 450, 'platform');
platforms.create(300, 550, 'platform');
platforms.setAll('body.immovable', true);
}
function starCreate(left, top, starImage) { var star = stars.create(left, top, starImage); star.animations.add('spin'); star.animations.play('spin', 8, true); }
function poisonCreate(left, top, poisonImage) { var poison = poisons.create(left, top, poisonImage); poison.animations.add('bubble'); poison.animations.play('bubble', 8, true); }
function starCollect(player, star) { star.kill(); currentScore = currentScore + 20; if (currentScore === winningScore) { won = true; } }

4,202 Pointsnevermind I got it. I didn't need to put the conditional statement in there. I only needed to change the + to -
