Welcome to the discussion about this section. Here you can ask questions or post feedback about this specific section.
Hello @filip , is it necessary to inherit from both ERC20 and ERC20Detailed contracts? What I mean is that ERC20Detailed itself inherits from ERC20 contract so our GameToken should have both ERC20 and ERC20Detailed types and all their (protected and public) members and functions, right? Or Solidity works differently than most OOP languages in this case?
Thanks for reply, cheers, Petr
Good question. You do need both. Because ERC20Detailed actually doesn’t inherit from the ERC20 contract. It just inherits the interface, IERC20, which forces you to implement the ERC20 as well.
Ah, sure, I didn’t notice that Detailed just implements IERC20 interface, not inheriting the contract itself (always hated convention of starting interface names with I 
)

I am on the Deploying Our Token section, and when I try to execute the ‘compile’ or ‘migrate’ commands, nothing happens at all, no errors, no messages. BTW, I run truffle develop when in the Solidity folder itself. Stuck.

could you send me a screenshot of what’s happening in the terminal?
Hej guys, thanks for the quick response. Below is another attempt to get it ruuning. Do I need to have something else ruuning when doing this like ganashe or?
ps: i replaced the private keys below with xxxs
thanks again!

I just noticed that backward slashes are replacing spaces in the folder names! I guess I should have spaces in folder names. See below:
homes-MacBook-Pro:~ homeaccount$ cd /Users/homeaccount/Downloads/Blockchain\ Projects/Simple\ Game/Solidity
Ok, I just changed the folder names so there are no more slashes and it now looks like this:
homes-MacBook-Pro:BlockchainProjects homeaccount$ cd /Users/homeaccount/Downloads/BlockchainProjects/SimpleGame/Solidity
Unfortunately, the compile still doesn’t work. Nothing happens at all, just a cursor waiting for input below the compile command. Any help would be great, thanks.
Thank you. The backslashes shouldn’t be a problem.
I don’t see any wrong there. What truffle version do you have? Could you zip your directory with all the files and send it to me? I need your files in order to continue to debug.
Hello Filip,
Here is what I find:
Last login: Thu Feb 14 07:06:47 on ttys000
homes-MacBook-Pro:~ homeaccount$ truffle version
Truffle v5.0.3 (core: 5.0.3)
Solidity v0.5.0 (solc-js)
Node v11.9.0
homes-MacBook-Pro:~ homeaccount$
Could you send me your code in anyway? And screenshot your terminal please.
Hello @filip, just curious about the method demonstrated to access the contract (note I paused the video to ask so if this is answered later in the video forgive me and feel free to ignore this question 
). I had learned to set the contract to a local variable and then call that:
truffle(develop)> GameToken.deployed().then(function(instance){app=instance;})
undefined
truffle(develop)> app.totalSupply()
<BN: 0>
truffle(develop)>
Is there a cost (meaning time, memory use, etc) to using await instead?
Thanks,
David
No, both are fine. Use the one whichever you are most comfortable with.
What exactly mains BN (big number) why is it used this way and why do we need to convert it to see the actual value? doesn’t make sense (yet)
It’s a library for easier handle different types of numbers. You can read more about it here: https://github.com/MikeMcl/bignumber.js/

Damn, after the lecture:
‘‘editing index file and playing the game (integrating erc20 Token with the game)’’
When my game is Finished, and I enter my ETH address in the prompt Box, I got a web3 error 
Uncaught (in promise) Error: Returned error: VM exception while processing
This will take some time to debug 
you erased the private keys in your post, but not the mnemonic seed (12 words) 
but it’s local anyway 
Could you post your code?
