class Game:
def __init__(self):
self.current_score = [0, 0]
def score(self):
new_current_score = self.current_score[0] + 1, self.current_score[1]+1
return new_current_score

Isn't this supposed to work? I tried the code itself in workspaces and it returns tuples (1,1) I thought (self) is used to pass attributes to instances. wouldn't the (self) be the same as (player/players)?

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou're close. Your score() method needs to accept a player, either 1 or 2, and then update their score accordingly. You don't need to return anything from score() but you will need to correct the player number to their position in the current_score list.

11,374 PointsI got confused on this too. It is actually a game between player 1 vs player 2
You want an output along the lines of [0,1] or [1,0]

7,516 Pointsclass Game:
def __init__(self):
self.current_score = [0, 0]
def score(self):
player_1 = input('Enter Name') #accepts player 1
player_2 = input('Enter Name') #accepts player 2
player_1, player_2 = self.current_score #assigns players to scores as in tuples
player_1 = self.current_score[0] + 1 #increases player 1's score
player_2 = self.current_score[1] + 1 #increases player 2's score
So I tried something but I get the try again message. I guess my problem is that I don't know how to accept a player besides input()

Treehouse Guest TeacherYour score() method needs to look for a player argument.
def score(self, player):
You won't even need to use input() or print() to pass one of my code challenges.

Treehouse Guest TeacherIsaac John How do methods/functions take in information? Through arguments. You need to add more arguments to your method, like I explained below.
