--description--

The next step is to create an update() method which will be responsible for updating the player's position and velocity as it moves throughout the game.

Below your draw() method, create an empty update() method.

--hints--

Your Player class should have an update method.

js
const player = new Player();
assert.isFunction(player.update);

Your update method should be empty.

js
const player = new Player();
assert.match(player.update.toString(), /\(\s*\)\s*\{\s*\}/);
