231,248 PointsAny syntax error will cause the previous task checks to fail. In this case, it's because you have added code that is attempting to access a resource named "item" that has not been defined.
But you're working too hard. All you need to do for task 2 is find the line that adds to "lives" and change it to subtract instead.

5,817 PointsI just did it and copied your code and pasted it. The second one you have to add poison.
