I am unable to enter playmode as apparently there are issues in the compiler?

Check the Console window. After you clear it, only the permanent compile errors remain that you need to fix before you can play again.

You should check the Console window regularly. There might be errors, warnings and hints that you miss if you only check the status bar.

- Install Visual Studio Community.
- Add VS Community as the default editor.
- VS will show errors during typing.
- If you don’t fix errors in VS you get the above message.
