Python Object-Oriented Python (retired) Inheritance Score Method

score question

what am I doing wrong ?

game.py
class Game:
  def __init__(self):
    self.current_score = [0, 0]

  def score(self,player):

    player = self.current_score[0] + 1 #increases player 1's score 
    player = self.current_score[1] + 1 #increases player 2's score

Consider making an if/else statement, so if the current player is player 1 increment that score, else increment the other score.

You're not increasing both players' scores. Just the chosen, passed-in player's score. But you'll have to adjust the player argument because it'll be off by one.
