The settings of the simulator are indicated at the 1st line of the error message. I’ve googled this topic but most of the issues were just due to lack of ;
The -v95 flag forces the simulator to compile code as Verilog IEEE1364-1995 which doesn't support class. By removing the flag, the simulator can compile the code as SystemVerilog. SystemVerilog supports class, typedef, enum, int, and other keywords used in your code from the edaplaygroud link.
