✅ Namespace error

The type or namespace name 'Game' does not exist in the namespace 'Rhythm_Flow' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

using System;
using OpenTK.Windowing.GraphicsLibraryFramework;
using Rhythm_Flow.Game;

namespace Rhythm_Flow
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (Game game = new Game())
            {
                game.Run();
            }
        }
    }
}

using System;
using OpenTK.Windowing.GraphicsLibraryFramework;
using Rhythm_Flow.Game;

namespace Rhythm_Flow
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (Game game = new Game())
            {
                game.Run();
            }
        }
    }
}

Anyone know why i am getting this error?

Because the Game class doesn't exist in that Rythom Namespace, it might be in another namespace

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

More likely it does exist in the Rythm_Flow namespace but your using statement is incorrect Try removing the using Rythm_Flow.Game; line

Salman•2w ago

Yeah possible

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

I'm assuming your Gameclass is defined in namespace Rythm.Flow as well

Salman•2w ago

Maybe just try using Rythom_Flow;

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

you're already in that namespace

Salman•2w ago

Yeah but just in case

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

@DevLop games are you coming from a python background perchance?

DevLop games•2w ago

Why? I mean yea but why? I stil get the same error

Salman•2w ago

Can you show your Game class Or file

DevLop games•2w ago

using OpenTK.Graphics.OpenGL4;
using OpenTK.Windowing.Common;
using OpenTK.Windowing.Desktop;
using OpenTK.Windowing.GraphicsLibraryFramework;

namespace OpenTKWindow
{
    public class Game:GameWindow
    {
        public Game()
            :base(GameWindowSettings.Default, NativeWindowSettings.Default)
            {
                
            }
    }
}

using OpenTK.Graphics.OpenGL4;
using OpenTK.Windowing.Common;
using OpenTK.Windowing.Desktop;
using OpenTK.Windowing.GraphicsLibraryFramework;

namespace OpenTKWindow
{
    public class Game:GameWindow
    {
        public Game()
            :base(GameWindowSettings.Default, NativeWindowSettings.Default)
            {
                
            }
    }
}

Salman•2w ago

So it's clear that it's defined in the OpenTKWindow namespace not in that Rythom Namespace try using OpenTKWindow; or using OpenTKWindow.Game; Former should work fine

DevLop games•2w ago

Same error

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

Can you share the line the error is being reported on? Screenshot of the error would be helpful

DevLop games•2w ago

This is the error using (Game game = new Game())

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

Are you using Visual Studio?

DevLop games•2w ago

No vs code

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

Did you replace using Rhythm_Flow.Game; with using OpenTKWindow;? Does putting the cursor onto the line and using ctrl+. show you any recommendations?

DevLop games•2w ago

It still gave errors

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

The same error? Are there multiple errors now?

DevLop games•2w ago

There's only one

DevLop games•2w ago

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

Alright, and adding using OpenTKWindow; to the usings doesn't help?

DevLop games•2w ago

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

ctrl+. on the Game game = Game() doesn't show help?

DevLop games•2w ago

Nothing related to using a namespace from a different file

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

files/paths are not relevant to the problem, it's all determined by namespace/class names C# doesn't care about file names or paths like that

DevLop games•2w ago

This whole thing is confusing

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

You can think of namespaces as "virtual" folders to the compiler so if you have two classes defined in the same namespace, they can see each other no problem but if they are in different namespaces, you need to tell the compiler where to find them using using statements

Salman•2w ago

c#
using System;
using Rhythm_Flow.Game;
using OpenTKWindow;

namespace Rhythm_Flow
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (Game game = new Game())
            {
                game.Run();
            }
        }
    }
}

c#
using System;
using Rhythm_Flow.Game;
using OpenTKWindow;

namespace Rhythm_Flow
{
    public class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (Game game = new Game())
            {
                game.Run();
            }
        }
    }
}

@DevLop games try this out and see if it works

SleepWellPupper•2w ago

And since your Game class is in a different namespace than the Program class, you need to add the using statement that tells the compiler where to look for Game when processing your Program class basically, this

DevLop games•2w ago

Same error

Salman•2w ago

what error maybe clean your project or restart VS

DevLop games•2w ago

wdym clean

Salman•2w ago

aight forget that for now, trying restarting the VS and see

DevLop games•2w ago

Now it see my namespace

Salman•2w ago

good
