And I'm using the Chrome browser, you?

3,239 Pointsopera, the game does not load in multiple browsers for me. And yes it still has problems regardless of me editing code.
Steven Parker
231,236 PointsOK, but the code in this snapshot appears to be before the additional items are added to it. Is this the code that causes the blank screen, or does that happen after you make changes to it?
And if the issue only happens on one kind of browser, this might be something to take up with the Support staff.

I ran into the same issue, then realized I just had ONE comma missing from a value and that is what was causing the problem. Once I corrected it, loaded just fine.

Let me know if this helped you or not :)

231,236 PointsIn your case, the function "addItems" is missing a closing brace (on or around line 20).
For future questions, give yourself the best chance for your question to be seen and answered by starting a fresh one!
