    Read through the exception, it tells you which file and what line of code caused the problem (Grounded.cs, line 12) so click on that and it'll open up the IDE and take you to that line, it should give a clue as whats wrong. Null reference usually means it expects a reference to something, but either that reference was never set, or the thing was destroyed at some point.
