Hello Chris, I have used the Git repository in your first video and noticed it's a little different to the one you are using in this video, there are classes and no use of the prototype. I have tried to get by without this and modify what I have, everything works fine up until the point of introducing miniStars where I am trying to call the class Star. I get the following error: bootstrap:83 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call a class as a function - Can you help?

Hey ajt - you may need to instantiate an object from the class by using new, it's been a while since checking out this video, but it should look something like this:

const star = new Star(x,y)

Sorry bout the differences, at some point I'll add GitHub source code to this course like I have for some of the others. Lmk if the above helps, just note, there's prob more arguments that go in the instantiation.
