Troubleshooting this TutorialSometimes, even though you try hard to understand the information in a tutorial, things don't work out quite like you want it to. This page is here to help you resolve any problems you might be having with the tutorial on the GameTime class. The Common Mistakes section describes common problems that people have when doing the things in this tutorial, and how to resolve them. The Frequently Asked Questions section describes questions that people have that aren't related to mistakes, but rather, trying to understand the stuff better or exploring how it can be used. If your problem or concern isn't addressed here, feel free to add a comment below, so that I know where you're having trouble. I like to keep these pages fairly clean, so I may remove comments that I felt like have been addressed. If I remove your comment and you don't feel like the problem has been fixed, repost the question and we'll take another look at it. If a tutorial has a mistake in it, I will fix the mistake and reply to the comment with a brief explanation. However, after a couple of weeks I'll likely go back and remove the original comment as well as my reply, because, hopefully, the problem will have been fixed, and it won't be a concern any more. |

Dear RB,
Firstly thank you very much for your earlier reply regarding the properties of a class, I'm very sorry that I haven't replied to it yet, as for this tutorial I have found a small error in the text, is the last paragraph in which you say:
"When all is said and done, in a real game, you'll use gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.Seconds frequently (or gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.Minutes, etc.) and gameTime.TotalGameTime or gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.Seconds very rarely."
As it might not be visible at a first glance, the ElapsedGameTime.Seconds is used twice here, when used frequently as your text says and very rarely also. If I'm not mistaken I guess you meant perhaps TotalGameTime.Seconds right?
Thank you in advance for your reply, and please take your time, as you wrote in the previous reply you are busy, so please keep this as the least of your worries, but please do not forget about it :) since I'm curious about this topic, thank you buddy.
I would like to point out just a small mistake: towards the end, it is written ‘the GameTime and TimeSpan classes’, although as said before, TimeSpan is rather a structure (than a class).
