// if you need the implementation plz let me know

//and finally the engine class

#include <conio.h>

#include "Living.h"

#include "Gnome.h"



using namespace std;
class Engine{


private:
vector<char*> gamemap;
int score;
vector<Living*> gameobjs;
void FindRandomPos(int &x_pos,int &y_pos);
int mapMaxX;
int mapMaxY;


void collisionDetecion(int pX,int pY);



public:


Engine();
void init(const char* mapname="defaultmap.txt",int gnomes=1,int traals=1,int diamonds=10);
void printMap();
void printMap2();
void movePotter();
void calculateScroll();
int getScore();
int getMapMaxX ();
int getMapMaxY ();


};
//and the partial engine.cpp

void Engine::init(const char* mapname,int gnomes,int traals,int diamonds)
{
int i=0;
// int z=0;
mapMaxX=0;
mapMaxY=0;





int x_pos,y_pos;

int countobjs=0;


//gnomes
for(int i=0;i<gnomes;i++)
{
FindRandomPos(x_pos,y_pos);
gameobjs.push_back( new Gnome ); //<---------------here is where the error should begin i think
gameobjs[countobjs]->setX(x_pos);
gameobjs[countobjs]->setY(y_pos);
gamemap[gameobjs[countobjs]->getX()][gameobjs[countobjs]->getY()]='3';
countobjs++;
}


so when I try to build it, the linker shows this error: Undefined reference to Living::spriteImg
anyway after a lot of thought and googling, I got no idea how to fix this... plz I need help!!!!

Did you ever write a definition for Living::spriteImg()?

Also, do not mark topics as solved unless they actually ARE solved.

yea that was it, and I solved it, but forgot to write down the answer so everyone could see, thx btw
