To facilitate a complete and accurate analysis in multi-source projects like this, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

231,198 PointsI guessed it! The snapshot confirms that line 3 of MapLocation.cs needs a "public" access modifier.
Also, on line 16 of Path.cs the term "path.Length" is missing an underscore (should be "_path.Length").

6,657 PointsThat worked! Thank you very much for your help!! They probably should add that to video! Inserting public before class in line 3 of MapLocation.cs

namespace TreehouseDefense { public class Path { private readonly MapLocation[] _path;
} }
