Hi @humanmusics !

Welcome to the forum!

When I copy and paste your code, I see this error message

[TypeError: “playerScoreSpanElement” is read-only]

that is pointing to here

Remember you learned how to update text using a special property.
if you need extra help, look to a previous project you did earlier.
For example, look to this RPG function you created earlier.

function goTown() {
  button1.innerText = "Go to store";
  button2.innerText = "Go to cave";
  button3.innerText = "Fight dragon";
  button1.onclick = goStore;
  button2.onclick = goCave;
  button3.onclick = fightDragon;
  text.innerText = "You are in the town square. You see a sign that says \"Store\".";
}

once you fix that, then you should see this error message

[TypeError: “computerScoreSpanElement” is read-only]

it points to the same issue

Once I fix that, then I get a different type error

[TypeError: Cannot set properties of undefined (setting ‘display’)]

the issue is here
you have a typo in the first part

once you fix that, then you have this issue

[TypeError: “winnerMsgElement” is read-only]

it is the same issue as the first two issues I mentioned

then here is the last issue

[ReferenceError: roundResultMsg is not defined]

you have typo here

then you should see this error message here

[TypeError: “roundResultsMsg” is read-only]

it is the same issue you had with the first two issues I mentioned.

Once I fix all of that, then it passes.

So you were close, but you just missed a couple of things and created a few typos

hope that helps

no worries.
happy to help.

learning to program is hard.
but working through issues and struggling at times is actually the best thing to happen to any programmer.
because that is the only way to grow.
You learn so much through trial and error.

And now, you have learned how to better debug your code like I did.
And you learned how to work through error messages better because of this experience :+1:

it is all part of the learning and growing process :+1:

I removed your code since it was a working solution.
But as mentioned earlier, if you had a question, then please open up your own topic.
Thanks

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
