Why won't this compile?

SCI makes faces at me.

Well your going to have to show us more of the code then that... we wouldn't be able to tell if anything was wrong with that tiny bit of code.

just judging by your first shown code, it's missing a bracket.

You have

Code: [Select]

(doornorth:init()It needs

Code: [Select]

(doornorth:init())

[Te Rangi]

It still fudges up. It gives me an "undefined symbol" error even though I have all of the other stuff sorted (I think  )

[Brian Provinciano]

You have an extra "(". You have:

Code: [Select]

  (method (init)
    )
    (doornorth:
      init()
      )
      (thecrate:
  init()
  setCycle(Fwd)
  cycleSpeed(1)

)

and should have

Code: [Select]

  (method (init)
    (doornorth:
      init()
      )
      (thecrate:
  init()
  setCycle(Fwd)
  cycleSpeed(1)

)

A "(" opens a block and a ")" closes one. Your code would be viewed by the compiler as:

Code: [Select]

  (method (init)
   )

from the extra ")". By closing the init method with it, the doornorth is expected to be a method.
