Error: not a statement.

I am really irritated, because I am following the video exactly and I have no Idea what is going wrong with my code. I'm getting an error that ">=" is not a statement. The other problem is, it's in my "Game.java" file, which he does not open at all in the video! I need some help. https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces/15164682#

Uriah, we need a bit more in order to be of any help. Can you include your code? Can you provide a link to the challenge you are having trouble with?

That first link worked for me. It took me right to my workspace. Maybe it is restricted to anyone but the creator? How do I show you another way?

I get a page that says "Bummer. It appears the page you're looking for doesn't exist."

I would just copy and paste the code. We can sift through it. It's what we do here.
