Beginner Issues - Debug Simple Shooting Game Code

Unity Engine
1

Just started with Unity and already stuck : /. I highlighted the rows and included the error messages. Any help or guidance much appreciated!

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Shooter : MonoBehaviour {
    public Rigidbody bullet;
    public float power = 1500f;
    public float moveSpeed = 2f;

    void Update () {
        var h = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed;
        var v = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed;
        transform.Translate (h, v, 0);
        if(Input.GetButtonUp ("Fire1")) {
            Rigidbody instance = Instantiate(bullet, Transform.position, Transform.rotation) as Rigidbody;
            Vector3 fwd = Transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
            instance.AddForce (fwd * power);
    }
    }
}

Code tags are your friend. I would instantiate a GameObject and not the Rigidbody.

instance.AddForce (instance.transform.forward* power);

also you are using Transform in your instantiation code for position and rotation. you want the lower case transform. Transform is the class and transform is an instance of that class.

Thanks, alot for your help. lower case and higher case was key :).
