To analyze directory issues it would be necessary to see your complete environment. You can make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

Also, what command to you give to compile?

Running the workspace, I got a slightly different error: "Game.cs(14,43): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `MapLocaion' could not be found." The difference, and the clue, is the missing "t".

So in Game.cs on line 14 (at column 43) there is "MapLocaion" instead of "MapLocation". After fixing that it will compile (but with a warning because there is more code to be added yet).
