Calling a method from a class to a from

Hi all,

I am writing a small text based fighting game using the Windows form so I can have dialog boxes pop-up when a user does something or something has happened. I have created a class for the player and enemy to store their "stats" as variables. So on the Form1 I have a button that allows the player to "Fight", and in the class I have created a method to play out the fight sequence. When the player clicks the "Fight" button I am trying to call the fighting sequence from class1. I am using Visual Studio 2010 express.

(please bare in mind I am totally new to C#)

Here is the code:

Form1

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace FightApp

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

FightSystem();

}

Class1

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

namespace FightApp

{

public class Class1 : Form1

{

int playerHealth = 60;

int playerMaxHealth = 60;

int playerCurrentHealth = 60;

int playerGold = 0;

int playerXP = 0;

int playerLevel = 1;

int playerAttack = 10;

int playerDefence = 10;

Random random = new Random();

int winFight = 0;

int enemyHealth = 60;

int enemyCurrentHealth = 60;

int enemyLevel = 1;

int enemyAttack = 10;

int enemyDefence = 10;

public void FightSystem()

{

playerAttack = playerAttack + random.Next(1, 6);

enemyAttack = enemyAttack + random.Next(1, 6);

if (playerAttack > enemyAttack)

{

winFight = playerAttack - enemyAttack;

enemyCurrentHealth = enemyCurrentHealth - winFight;

playerGold = random.Next(1, 3);

playerXP = 1;

}

I understand that there maybe be an easier way to implement it but as I said I am a complete rookie :s

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
