ambiguity between variables in C#

Question

I want to start by saying I did search first, and found a lot of similar issues on various other things, but not this problem exactly.

I have this code:

Answer 1

You need to rename your private gameOver variable. Change this:

bool gameOver = false;
public bool GameOver {
        get { return gameOver; }
        set { gameOver = value; }
    }

to

bool _gameOver = false;
public bool GameOver {
        get { return _gameOver; }
        set { _gameOver = value; }
    }

You can't use the same variable name in a single class.

Alternatively, assuming you're using a recent version of .Net, you could remove your private variable and just have:

public bool GameOver { get; set; }

Good luck.
