error cs2008

I am getting this error:

error CS2008: No files to compile were specified Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

these are the codes

using System; namespace TreehouseDefense { class Point

{ public readonly int X; public readonly int Y;

  public Point(int x, int y)
  {

    X = x;
    Y = y;

  }

 public int DistanceTo(int x, int y)

 {
   int xDiff = X-x;
   int yDiff = Y-y;

   int xDiffSquared = xDiff * xDiff;
   int yDiffSquared = yDiff * yDiff;

   return (int)Math.sqrt(xDiffSquared + yDiffSquared);

 }

}

}

using System; namespace TreehouseDefense { class Game { public static void Main() { Map map = new Map(8,5);

      Point point = new Point(4,2);

      Console.WriteLine(point.DistanceTo(5, 5));

    }
}

}

What command did you give to compile the code?

You didn't provide a link to the course page, but I would guess that the proper command to compile is likely:

mcs -out:TreehouseDefense.exe *.cs

In future (or if this doesn't solve your issue), to enable a thorough analysis of a situation involving multiple sources, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here, along with a link to the course page you are working with.
