I guess we could say this is a case of "consistently inconsistent accessibility". :wink: This issue occurs 3 times in separate files:

  • On line 3 of "Maplocation.cs", the class is missing the "public" declaration.
  • On line 3 of "Point.cs", the class is missing the "public" declaration.
  • On line 3 of "Map.cs", the class is missing the "public" declaration.

Then on line 30 of "Game.cs" there is a reference to "TreehouseDefenseException" (with an "s") but in the file "Exception.cs" it is defined as "TreehouseDefenceException" (with a "c").

thanks Steven :)
