Compiler/Unexpected symbol

I'm having trouble identifying where the unexpected is. it says line 14, but on my workspace that line is actually just white space. 

      Point point = new Point(4, 2);
       bool isOnMap = map.OnMap(point);
       Console.WriteLine(isOnMap);

       point = new Point(8, 5);
       isOnMap = map.OnMap(point);
       Console.WriteLine(isOnMap);

It might be necessary to see more of the code to analyze the issue. You can share the entire project at once if you make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

When I open the workspace, line 14 of Map.cs is:

    public bool OnMap(Point, point)

There's a stray comma there between the parameter type and the name. Also in the same method:

  • the fields inside point are "X" and "Y" (upper case) but the code has them in lower case
  • the local field "Width" (capital "W") is spelled in the code as "width" (lower case "w")
  • the local field "Height" (capital "H") is spelled in the code as "height" (lower case "h")

Oh I was looking for the error in the Game file, but should've noticed it was in Maps'. Thank You
