What does your code look like? Can you please attach your .rb file?

Yeah, thanks!

game.rb needs a require_relative 'player' at the top :)

By Idiot Date 2017-12-17 05:51

I should have realized that, sorry.
But now I get a different error?

I went to the player file and did require gosu to see if that would change anything, it didn't.
How come I can't figure this out?

Do you have a folder assets next to the Ruby source code files, and does it contain an image named starfighter.png? How do you run your game?

By Idiot Date 2017-12-17 18:50

Yes, my assets folder is next to the game and player ruby files.
I'm running my game through cmd

> cd desktop
> cd folder
>cd ruby game.rb

I ran an open sourced gosu game from github a few days ago and it worked fine?

You mean ruby game.rb, right? No idea. What does this print if you run this as the first line in your Ruby script:

p File.exist? "assets/starfighter.png"

I got the same error.

I decided to look in the compact.rb file where there's supposed to be an error at line 84 but I can't tell if there's something wrong.

What does yours look like?

This little debug statement doesn't try to fix the issue, but it should print true or false in the terminal when you run the game, depending on whether the file can be found.

The compat.rb file overrides a few methods in Gosu, so the stack trace will usually include this file even if the error happens in a completely different file. Interpreting these errors is tough, but gets easier with time.
