There is an issue with your Smalltalk. aCollection withIndexDo: [:index :item | "You have the arguments in the wrong order. It is :item then :index" ... index := index + 2 "this is not legal"]. The assignment is not legal because you are not allowed to assign to method parameters or block parameters. You're going to have something like this: game := BowlingGame new. ... game roll: nPins. score := game score. Since the score of a strike or a spare depends on the scores of the *next* two throws, it might be easier to process the throws backwards.
