What am I missing?

Question about the task

Snake (Part 19/20)

Games, Level 0, Lesson 1

Resolved

Could somebody please tell me what is missing? And how to fix it?

Just some final touches remain — keeping score and displaying points earned. To keep score, create a score variable and set it to 0 when a new game is created.

Use the setScore(int) method to display the score on the screen. Call it after every change to the score variable. The score should increase by 5 after each apple is eaten.

After each apple is eaten, the game speed must increase, i.e. decrease the value of turnDelay (the duration of a turn) by 10. After each change to turnDelay, the setTurnTimer(int) method must be called.

Requirements:

The SnakeGame class must have a private int score field.
The score field must be initialized to 0 in the createGame() method.
The createGame() must call the setScore(int) method with score as the argument.
The onTurn(int) method must increase the score field by 5 if the apple is dead.
The onTurn(int) method must call the setScore(int) method with score as the argument if the apple is dead.
The onTurn(int) method must reduce the value of the turnDelay field by 10 if the apple is dead.
The onTurn(int) method must call the setTurnTimer(int) method with turnDelay as the argument if the apple is dead.

package com.codegym.games.snake; import com.codegym.engine.cell.*; public class Apple extends GameObject { private static final String APPLE_SIGN = "\uD83C\uDF4E"; public boolean isAlive = true; public Apple(int x, int y) { super(x, y); } public void draw(Game game) { game.setCellValueEx(x,y,Color.NONE,APPLE_SIGN,Color.LAVENDERBLUSH,75); } }

Hi, You set conditions in the wrong order. You should check first if the apple is alive, then if the snake is alive and then you can check win condition.
