Show the score

What we are doing

The score goes in the top-right corner, right-aligned so it always ends 10 pixels from the edge.

```js
ctx.textAlign = 'right'
ctx.fillText('Score: ' + score, canvas.width - 10, 26)
```

What it means

• With textAlign = 'right' the point is the text's right end.
• canvas.width - 10 is 470: however long the number gets, the text ends 10 pixels from the right edge.

Your turn

In draw, write the two lines right under the Lives fillText line.
