So I'm following this tutorial, and they compile just fine and my code is just fine, im using everything they are using but I'm getting 14 errors.

Like I said my code is exactly the same as the guy's tutorial. Nothing is diffrent, his will compile my wont. Yes I removed the comma before I posted this and it didn't change anything. But it's saying "type 'float' unexpected"

vector getPosition(void);
float getX(void):
float getY(void); <------- This is not being identified like it's spitting out float because somewhere we didn't identify it?

virtual void addLives(int num = 1);
int getLives(void);
bool isAlive(void);

virtual bool move(float x, float y);

In C++ statements and declarations should end with a semicolon, so...

float getX(void): <-- Here's your problem
float getY(void);

On a further note, usage of the 'void' keyword to indicate an empty parameterlist isn't really necessary. You might as well write:

float getX();
float getY();

Grrr. Yes another simple simple simple and very very simple typo. And I read over that code a zillion times. But I still have the other errors I was concerned about which are still on there that weren't answered due to my lack of code but here it is:

enum
{
SPRITE_CLASSID, <-- remove this comma
};


Commas are for separating the items in an enumeration, but you only have one item so there is nothing to separate. That pretty much breaks all the code from that point on, so recompile and see which errors still remain.

Actually a comma is perfectly valid here and makes it far easier to add items to the enum.

You have a member and a method called "spriteIndex". Rename one of the two and it should be find.

Additionally, I wouldn't call your vector struct "vector", because you'll very likely get conflicts with std::vector at some point.

sprite.cpp
c:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio Projects\evilMonkeys\sprite.cpp(4) : error C2063: 'Sprite::spriteIndex' : not a function

[...]

Sprite::spriteIndex(DrawEngine *de, int s_index, float x, float y, int i_lives)
{
drawArea = de;

pos.x = x;
pos.y = y;

spriteIndex = s_index;

numLives = i_lives;

facingDirection.x = 1;
facingDirection.y = 0;

classID = SPRITE_CLASSID;
}

Where's the return value for that function? It's lacking one. Hence it not looking like a function to the compiler.

I actually made a user error while doing that I meant to name it as Sprite not spriteindex so yea once again. WoW. Thanks guys!
