I'm currently using this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44tO977slsU&list=PLhfAbcv9cehhkG7ZQK0nfIGJC_C-wSLrx&index=3
But I've been getting this error on the first line that I don't know how to address as a beginner.
It says it's unresolved externals
I've been trying to look at some of the windows config advice, but I don't know how to apply it to this tutorial.
here's the code:
#include "Header.hpp"
Game::Game(){}
Game::~Game(){}
void Game::init(const char* title, int xpos, int ypos, int width, int height, bool fullscreen)
{
int flags = 0;
if (fullscreen) { flags = SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN; }
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) == 0) {
std::cout << "Subsystems initialized" << std::endl;
window = SDL_CreateWindow(title, xpos, ypos, width, height, flags);
if (window) { std::cout << "Windows created" << std::endl; }
renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, 0);
if (renderer) {
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 255, 255, 255, 255);
std::cout << "renderer created" << std::endl;
}
isRunning == true; } else { isRunning == false; }
}
void Game::handleEvents() {
SDL_Event event;
SDL_PollEvent(&event);
switch (event.type) {
case SDL_QUIT:
isRunning = false;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
void Game::update() { count++; std::cout << count << std::endl; }
void Game::render() {
SDL_RenderClear(renderer);
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
}
void Game::clean() {
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
SDL_Quit();
std::cout << "Game cleaned" << std::endl;
}
this is is the header file, if it'll help:
#ifndef Header_hpp
#define Header_hpp
#include <iostream>
#include "SDL.h"
class Game {
public:
Game();
~Game();
void init(const char* title, int xpos, int ypos, int width, int height, bool fullscreen);
void handleEvents();
void update();
void render();
void clean();
bool running(){ return isRunning; }
private:
int count = 0;
bool isRunning;
SDL_Window *window;
SDL_Renderer *renderer;
};
#endif / * Header_hpp */
I'm genuinely clueless on what could be causing this so I guess I'll include the main.cpp as well if something can be found there:
#include "Header.hpp"
Game* game = nullptr;
int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
game = new Game();
game->init("Birchengine", SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, 800, 600, false);
while (game->running()) {
game->handleEvents();
game->update();
game->render();
}
game->clean();
return 0;
}
What could be the cause of this error, and how do I prevent it in the future?
