Here are the error messages from the complier, with some additional explanations:

Game.cs(32,13): error CS0160: A previous catch clause already catches all exceptions of this or a super type `TowerDefense.TowerDefenseException'

The code between lines 32 and 35 is not needed (and should be removed) because the "catch" on line 28 already handles the same cases.

Path.cs(14,38): error CS1061: Type 'TowerDefense.MapLocation[]' does not contain a definition for 'length' and no extension method 'length' of type 'TowerDefense.MapLocation[]' could be found.

On line 14 you wrote "length" (with a lower-case "l") instead of "Length" (with a capital "L"). C# is case-sensitive!
