Compiler errors, but not the ones in the video

I keep getting these errors: Game.cs(7,8): error CS0246: The type or namespace name Map' could not be found. Are you missingTreehouseDefence' using directive?
Game.cs(9,5): error CS0841: A local variable map' cannot be used before i t is declared Game.cs(10,5): error CS0841: A local variablemap' cannot be used before it is declared
Game.cs(12,16): error CS0841: A local variable `map' cannot be used before it is declared

You have inconsistent namespace spellings.

For the main module Game.cs, you have "TreehouseDefense" (with an "s"), but in the other modules you have "TreehouseDefence" (with a "c").

These should all be the same unless you intend to explicitly include them with using directives.

Ya I just caught that. Old bad spelling habits die hard sadly.

I did the same thing. It so happens that the UK and US spellings of "Defence" are different. The UK spelling is with a "c" whilst the US spelling is with an "s". The program won't care which spelling you use, as long as it's the same throughout all the files.

I've given Steven's post an up vote. Thanks Steven!

The actual spelling is your choice. The important thing is to spell it consistently throughout the project.
