Expected and actual are still flipped. See docs (busted is the Lua testing framework on Codewars) to be sure once and for all :)

Forked & Approved. (you get the honor points)

I've fixed it (hopefully as what you intended to see), a lot of kata also uses this code (likely copied from some templates), so perhaps you can raise an issue everytime you've encountered them

Fixed though it is not really an issue :-)

besides the superfluous trailing semicolon, what's wrong with this setup ? the author should be free to put the strict mode directive there if they so wish, in my opinion. if you don't like it, you can easily delete it

Because it's the most missing feature of the language :D

It's just the first thing that came to mind. I plan more interesting things later

Solved both

Please note that it's futile to fix a kata that has been retired.

Sorry about that. I just fixed that.

You should be able to see in the description now that Whisker can in fact get two consecutive life orbs and get back to 1 life.

This example should be dead:

check_cat_life(['Curse', 'Challenge', 'Life Orb', 'Life Orb'], 1) -> 'Dead'

This example should be alive:

check_cat_life(['Curse', 'Life Orb', 'Life Orb'], 1) -> 'Alive'

For this example:

check_cat_life(['Curse', 'Healing Potion', 'Life Orb'], 1)

It should be dead because the healing potion shouldn't have any effect. It won't increase the lives by 2, it won't resurrect. Only the life orb can resurrect, but since the life orb isn't used as soon as Whisker gets to -1 lives, Whisker is dead.

Fixed.

Approved.

It normally shouldn't. I assume that tests are weak, but I also don't understand the need for validating input. xD

fork approved

done
