JavaScript Introducing JavaScript Let's Make a Game Modifying Values

Let's change one of the platforms to a be different type.

Let's change one of the platforms to a be different type. Modify the platforms.create command on line 25 to use the string 'platform2' instead of 'platform'.

Hey Ryan Johnson,

I see the code posted, but I don't see your question. What particular part are you experiencing an error or issue on? I'd be happy to help!

Thanks,

Zac

There's not much to this one. If you look on line 25, you'll see a function call with three arguments and the last one is the string 'platform'. Just change that to 'platform2' instead (so you are essentially adding a "2").
