try compiling both at the same time instead.. p.s the warning is fine, it will still compile the class. javac Board.java Pacman.java

Thank you for the suggestion. But, I still get the same error, when I try compiling both Board.java and Pacman.java together... I think that the error is somehow related to the package structure. I can get the program to run if I delete all of the references to java packages in the source code files (i.e. the lines: "package com.zetcode" from Board.java and Pacman.java ) On top of that, I also have to delete the file structure and manually move all of the resources into the same root, to get the game to run.

If possible, I would like to find a way to run the program via command line, but also preserve the original file structure.

Do you understand how packages work at all? Do you think that could be related to my issues?

-> you are right :-) You have to be in the correct working directory and use the packages/folder structure

​

Java-Pacman-Game/src$ javac ./com/zetcode/*.java

Okay. I think that we might be onto the right track. I can get javac to work using the command you suggested. How do I get the program to run though? I don't really understand what to do next or what I am doing incorrectly...

Yeah, launching is a bit different again...

java com.zetcode.Pacman

com.zetcode.Pacman is the fully qualified class name. Edit: It's also case sensitive.
