Переменная-член перечисления классов C++

У меня есть класс с перечисляемым типом GameStates. В (общедоступном) конструкторе я инициализирую GameStates следующим образом:

GameStates enumGameState = Ready;

Затем в общедоступном методе run() у меня есть такой переключатель:

switch(enumGameState)
        {
        case Ready:
            if (theGameEngine->KeyHit(Key_Space))
            {
                enumGameState = Firing;
                cout << "\nGame State moved to Firing";
            }   // End if
            break;
        case Firing:
            if (theGameEngine->KeyHit(Key_Space))
            {
                enumGameState = Contact;
                cout << "\nGame State moved to Contact";
            }   // End if
            break;
        case Contact:
            if (theGameEngine->KeyHit(Key_Space))
            {
                enumGameState = Over;
                cout << "\nGame State moved to Over";
            }   // End if
            break;
        case Over:
            break;
        };  // End of GameState switch

Пока код не выдает ошибки, ни одно из состояний не выполняется. Как мне получить доступ к значению enumGameState?
