files differently, and you may also put multiple classes below one and other in a
single file. However, your project becomes a lot messier if you do that, and it will
be much more difficult to find everything. Therefore, keep every class in a single
file, and name the file the same as the class. Visual Studio already puts the class in
a common project namespace, and there are a couple of

instructions that it
thinks might be of use. We will only need the first one (
using
System;

Cannon
class is completely empty. Even if a class does not
yet contain any member variables or methods, we can already use it by declaring a
