Say Hit

What we are doing

judge(text, color) sets the message. A successful press calls judge('Hit', '#fde047'), and a yellow Hit appears.

```js
function judge(text, color) {
  feedback = { text, color, time: 30 }
}

  closest.hit = true
  judge('Hit', '#fde047')
}
```

What it means

• judge puts a new message in feedback; { text, color, ... } is short for { text: text, color: color, ... }.
• time: 30 is how many frames it should stay (used in the next step).
• press calls it right after marking the note hit.

Your turn

1. Above the comment // A key press hits ..., write judge, with an empty line after it.
2. In press, under closest.hit = true, write judge('Hit', '#fde047').
