I can help a little. First, the compiler is telling you what's wrong, so believe it.

For instance, on line #14

throw runtime_error ("wrong no. of argument")

you need a semicolon on the end of that line.

line #15

if(!open_file(map_file[1]))

I don't know what you're trying to do and the compiler doesn't either. What is that line supposed to actually do? Are you trying to initialize a string or open a file?

Also you have two variables both named map_file, one a string and one a ifstream.
