[AGDev-newbies] battle of the mages game errors

[Thomas Ward]

Hi.
Tim is right. Usually, if you get a stact trace or a build error of 135 
errors the actual number is much smaller. I have seen bad
spelling, calling an invalid function, acount for most of the errors. 
The key is to find out where it lists the first error, and check all 135 
lines it sights to locate the problem. In Visual Studio the debugger 
will help take you directly to the errors which is nice.
