Q: C# Thread Commands cause Method name expected error (CS0149)

Question

I am making a game works in console of Visual Studio. I am in middle of it and there is a problem.

Thread th1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Blocks(ana, e, obj, wall)));                                                        
th1.Start();

I can't start it because of Method Name Expected. This is all of the Code.

        //Alt + 219
        string wall1 = "█";
        //Alt + 4
        string coin1 = "♦";

    }
}

I thought it was because of void. I tried int, object etc. but didn't work. I said I am in the middle of the code somethings are missing.

Error is in there

Blocks(ana, e, obj, wall)

it is work without Thread commands but it will cause error when I use Thread commands.

I trying to do a game there will be a face, move with A and D. Then blocks will fall in every few seconds. But I don't know how to do that. I need help.

Answer 1

In your application, it would be better to use tasks instead of threads (actually I think using a Task would always be preferable to Thread).
In the simplest form you could use something like:

Task.Run(() => Blocks(ana, e, obj, wall));
