I'm trying to code a simple collision detection function as part of the Engine class. The Player class is initialized in the Engine.cpp. I tried initializing it in the CollisionDetection.cpp instead, and in Engine.h but it still doesn't work.
Engine.h
#pragma once
#include "Cupcake.h"
#include "Player.h"
#include "FrameTimer.h"
class Engine
{
public:
//Constructor
Engine();
//run all the private functions
void run();
private:
//Private functions. Run will call all private functions
void input();
void draw();
bool detectCollisions(Player& p, Cupcake& c);
//The usual RenderWindow
sf::RenderWindow m_Window;
//Declare a sprite and a texture for the background
sf::Sprite m_BackgroundSprite;
sf::Texture m_BackgroundTexture;
//How many seconds, in gametime, have passed?
FrameTimer ft;
const float m_dt = ft.Mark();
//Handle mouse input
bool m_mouseHeld = false;
//Mouse Positions
sf::Vector2i m_mousePosition_Window;
sf::Vector2f m_mousePosition;
void updateMousePosition();
sf::FloatRect m_mouseRect;
//Is the game currently playing?
bool m_Playing = false;
//How much time has passed in-game?
sf::Time m_GameTimeTotal;
};
Player.h
#pragma once
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include "Engine.h"
class Player
{
public:
//Constructor/Destructor
Player();
~Player();
//Getting functions
int getHealth() { return m_health; }
int getPoints() { return m_points; }
//sf::FloatRect getMousePosition();
//Check if player is still alive
bool isAlive();
//Reduce the player health
int decreaseHealth() { m_health -= 1; return m_health; }
int increasePoints() { m_points += 1; return m_points; }
private:
//Game logic
unsigned int m_points;
int m_health;
bool m_dead;
};
CollisionDetection.cpp
#pragma once
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include "Engine.h"
#include "Cupcake.h"
#include "Player.h"
using namespace sf;
Player player;
bool Engine::detectCollisions(Player& p, Cupcake& c)
{
bool deleted = false;
/*Use the intersects function from SFML to :
-check if cupcake has been clicked upon
-add points to the player
-delete the cupcake sprite from the spriteVector
*/
FloatRect mouse = m_mouseRect;
if (c.getPosition().intersects((mouse)))
{
p.increasePoints();
//find and delete the cupcake from the Sprite vector
//turn deleted to true
deleted = true;
}
return deleted;
}
Getting error message:
syntax error: identifier 'Player' File: Engine.h Line:20
