Hello Izaan,

For future questions you should always provide a snippet of that particular code you've written, that is causing issues. Without it, it's very difficult to give you an answer to what is wrong in your code.

At the end of this video, the OnMap method should look like this:

public bool OnMap(Point point)
{
    bool inBounds = point.X >= 0 && point.X < Width && point.Y >= 0 && point.Y < Height;

    return inBounds;
}

That should work, at least it's working for me.

However, in one of the next videos, you will be taught how to compress that to this

public bool OnMap(Point point)
{
    return point.X >= 0 && point.X < Width && 
           point.Y >= 0 && point.Y < Height;
}

This should work exactly like the method above.

Does this helps to solve your issue?

Cheers, Björn
