Treehouse TeacherHi Robert,
You can get that error if you downloaded the files to your computer, and tried to open the index.html file in a browser. Many browsers limit how JavaScript interacts with your local file system, and loading files the way Phaser.js, will trigger an error, unless you view the web page from a web server. If you use workspaces to edit and view the files you won't get that error.
Another option is to load a simple web server on your computer and view the game page that way. A really simple way, if you use the Chrome browser, is to use the Web Server for Chrome extension. Just follow the instructions on the page -- https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chrome/ofhbbkphhbklhfoeikjpcbhemlocgigb?hl=en -- and you'll be able to view the game just fine.
