如何访问此 class 中的枚举值？

Question

I am a fairly new programmer trying to make a pretty simple game by using MonoGame in C#. My problem is that I want to access an enum value (not sure if that's the right term) in this other class, but I don't know how. My guesses are that you could do something like: return Game1.State.EnterHighScore; or by making an object reference, but it has not worked for me, probably because I'm doing it incorrectly. I would appreciate help!

I'm sorry I don't know how to format the code properly, but I tried to make it as clear as possible:

//File name: GameElements.cs
//...
    //...
        //...
            //...   
                    if (e.CheckCollision(player)) 
                    {
                        player.IsAlive = false;
                        return /*EnterHighScore*/; // I want to return the enum value EnterHighscore, 
                                                   //..which is in the class Game1
                    }
            //...
        //...
    //...
//...  

//File name: Game1.cs
//...
    public class Game1 : Game
    {
        enum State { PrintHighScore, EnterHighScore }; // I want to access EnterHighScore.
        //...
    }
//...

Keep your enum outside of any class. Then you can directly return from any method in any class in the same namespace. eg:

public enum GameState
{
    EnterHighScore,
    EnterSomeOtherScore,
    EnterLooserScore
};

public class SomeClass
{
    public GameState CheckGame()
    {
        return GameState.EnterHighScore;
    }
}

If you keep the enum inside any class, then the scope of enum will be only to that class.
