How "accurate" are the screencasts?

[Trent]

I've done everything exactly as shown in the screencasts and get this error.

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require': ./player.rb:28: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND (SyntaxError)

from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'

from my_game.rb:3

MY_GAME.RB file

require 'rubygems'

require 'gosu'

require 'player'

class MyGame < Gosu::Window

def initialize

super(300, 400, false)

@player1 = Player.new(self)

end

def update

if button_down? Gosu::Button::KbLeft

@player1.move_left

end

if button_down? Gosu::Button::KbRight

@player1.move_right

end

end

def draw

@player1.draw

end

end

window = MyGame.new

window.show

PLAYER.RB file

class Player

def initialize(game_window)

@game_window = game_window

@icon = Gosu::Image.new(@game_window, "images/player1_icon.png", true)

@x = 50

@y = 50

end

def draw

@icon.draw(@x,@y,1)

end

def move_left

if @x < 0

@x = 0

else

@x = @x - 10

end

end

def move_right

if @x > (@game_window.width - 50)

@x = @game_window.width - 50

else

@x = @x + 10

end

Trent,

If I am reading your code right, it looks like your missing 2 "ENDS" in your player class. See my insertion below and see if that helps with your issue.

Thanks,
