Alrighty, writing tetris game. When i want to delete a whole line, it''s done in the Tetris.cpp file, but the sprite and gameengine are their own classes and the sprite vector is in the gameengine. So, i write a gameengine function to erase a certain sprite. Now, i want to pass in the ITERATOR to the sprite, delete that sprite from memory and then erase it from the vector.

if ((*siSprite)->GetYPosition() == y)//if it''s on that line

		{
			delete (*siSprite);//delete it

			_pGame->GetSpriteVector().erase(siSprite);//get it outta vector

			siSprite--;//move the movement backwards to account

		}

But, i get an access violation if i don''t do it in a gameengine function and i don''t exactgly know about passing in iterators and how that would work. Help por favor ----------------------------------------------------------- Like a sponge!

Actually, i think the scope prob could be in the "GetYPosition()" of the sprite... Here''s the whole function.

void DeleteLine(int y){		vector<Sprite*>::iterator siSprite;	for (siSprite = _pGame->GetSpriteVector().begin(); 			siSprite != _pGame->GetSpriteVector().end(); siSprite++)	{		if ((*siSprite)->GetYPosition() == y)//if it''s on that line		{			delete (*siSprite);//delete it			_pGame->GetSpriteVector().erase(siSprite);//get it outta vector			siSprite--;//move the movement backwards to account		}	}

Alright, made it into a gameengine function, but i still get an access error on the GetYPosition()???

But somehow the function from the book works that''s basically the same thing:: okay, i''ll let someone else post now =)

void GameEngine::CleanupSprites(){  // Delete and remove the sprites in the sprite vector  vector<Sprite*>::iterator siSprite;  for (siSprite = m_vSprites.begin(); siSprite != m_vSprites.end(); siSprite++)  {    delete (*siSprite);    m_vSprites.erase(siSprite);    siSprite--;  }}

Now it''s like it''ll delete the line, leave the others there, and still error after it''s done?
