3,120 PointsWhat are they even asking
I don't really understand what is even being asked. What is supposed to be causing the players to gain points in the method?
class Game:
if player == 1:
self.current_score[0]
if player == 2:
self.current_score[1]
def score(player):
def __init__(self):
self.current_score = [0, 0]

Basically, when the Game class is initialised it has a current_score of [0,0], each index representing player1 and player2 scores. The challenge wants you to create a method called score which will take a player as an argument, i.e method will take 1 or 2. So when 1 is passed in you increment current_score index 0 by 1 and visa versa. The player gains points when the score method is called.
here is an example of the score method.
def score(self, player):
player_index = 0
if player == 1:
player_index = 0
else:
player_index = 1
self.current_score[player_index]+=1
Hope this makes sense
