6,906 PointsI did it this way... Basically, remove the "override" keyword from subclass init method, give the property a value from the arguments...
class Enemy { var life: Int = 2 let position: Point
init(x: Int, y: Int) {
self.position = Point(x: x, y: y)
}
func decreaseLife(by factor: Int) {
life -= factor
}
}
class SuperEnemy: Enemy { let isSuper: Bool
init(x: Int, y: Int, isSuper: Bool) {
self.isSuper = isSuper
super.init(x: x, y: y)
self.life = 50
}
}
let superEnemy = SuperEnemy(x: 3, y: 2, isSuper: true)
