you must do "extern" before every function in the header file. False. I've never seen it done this way and assume bad practice. make sure those files are ...in your main project. Agree. Did you "add new/existing file" them? I never knew i had to add my files to the current proje...

One noticable error is the class delaration, you have to put a semicolon after the closing brace, this is essential. I didn't have a proper check through your code (just a glance), but you will probably have a few less errors now, if you add that semicolon. EDIT: also, you can't declare objects wit...

Okay, i tried to make a menu but i failed. i got lots of errors, and really, i have no clue what they mean and why do they occur. here is my code: #include "SDL/SDL.h" #include "SDL/SDL_mixer.h" #include "SDL/SDL_ttf.h" #include "SDL/SDL_image.h" #include <str...
