Hello,

On page 334, 5th lines from the bottom is giving me a "GUIUtil does not exist in current context" error.

Any thoughts on this?

TIA.

I have the same problem. I haven't found a solution yet.

Are you referring to this?

protected override void BeginRun()
{
base.BeginRun();
// show the splash screen
GUIUtil.InitGUIScreens("StarterGame");
GUICanvas.Instance.SetContentControl("GuiSplashScreen");
}

Unfortunately, the engine code changed without the book being updated. The method should look more like this:

protected override void BeginRun()
{
     base.BeginRun();
      
     // show the splash screen
     GuiSplashScreen splash = new GuiSplashScreen()
     GUICanvas.Instance.SetContentControl(splash);
}

Try something like this...
