231,248 PointsThe instructions for task 2 say "Modify the platform.create command on line 25 to use the string 'platform2' instead of 'platform'.", but it looks like you changed the variable name instead of the string argument in the method call.
This introduced a syntax error, which is the most common way to cause the "task 1 is no longer passing" error since a syntax error invalidates the entire script, and the challenge always re-tests the tasks in order.
