I am going through the 2d starfields tutorial.

I can't get my code that I typed in to compile.

Here are the lines of code in question:
stars(s).speed = stars(s).z * speedfactor# <---errors here with "cannot understand command"
temp col = (255/starlayers) * stars(s).z

The only way I could find to fix it is to copy and paste from the tutorial this line over the 2nd line above.
temp_col = (255/starlayers) * stars(s).z

It will now compile.

Please someone tell me that there is a difference or is this thing full of weird bugs like this?

Here is the code I typed in. This will not compile for me unless I copy and paste the tutorial code on line 32. But as far as I can tell, there is no difference. I even copied and pasted both lines to notepad to look at them closely together..no dice.

This is because you have used temp{Space}col instead of temp_col

I've put an underscore in the var name and it worked for me.

Sorry, Forgot to add, sometimes the compiler gets confused over where problem occurs, quite often it's the following line it is complaning about about.
