I found my mistake. I failed to change one line to layer2 in the game1.cs file. BTW, great tutorials :) Nevermind… I found my mistake. I failed to change one line to layer2 in the game1.cs file.

I'm on part 4a and we've just hit the index out of range exception after trying to merge the rock layer with our original layer. I added in the two lines of code stating that if we find a negative 1 to continue, but the exception still keeps popping up. Suggestions?

When a monster dies, I remove it from the game.components collection and if I need a new monster I just add it again and initialize is called automatically. I use Initialize to reset game components.

In C++ and Java, and I assume C#, a base class's constructor has to be called at the beginning/before a subclasses constructor -for reasons to do with the way Objects memory is allocated. So using constructors for more than very basic initialisation can cause problems. My memories a bit hazy about all this stuff though. Constructors get less useful when you start doing inheretence.

If we make two objects, A and B, and A gets constructed before B (for whatever reason), but A's constructor relies on the construction of B, then we can move that reliant code into A's Initialize method. Sounds a little weird, but there are several actual non-graphical examples of this in my current game project.
