231,248 PointsThe line numbers aren't shown here, but they are in the challenge. The code between lines 71 and 78 is this:
function poisonCollect(player, poison) {
poison.kill();
lives = lives + 1;
if (lives === 0) {
player.kill();
gameOver = true;
}
}
The code currently makes the player's life count go up when a bottle is touched, which is a mistake; but for task 2 you must fix the code so the count goes down instead.
Can you spot something you can change that will make this happen? Hint: you'll only need to make a change on one line.
