[Newbies] Newbie stuck on page 43 of SBE getting syntax error trying to run SBEGame (Quinto)

[dav0]

Hi Chris,

Your method of loading the SBE-Quinto repository from the URL and running
it that way seems to work fine, so does this mean I introduced the syntax
error myself?  Or does this mean that the fact that I am using a different
repository has something to do with why it works this way?

I am still a little too green to figure out where I went wrong.  Everything
was working up until this point.

Thanks

Dave
