That was just part of the code, most of which I'm afraid might be unnecessary, since the error is as follows:
gameidea\program.h(44) : error C2601: 'function' : local function definitions are illegal
Can anyone figure it out?
MiiNiPaa (8886)
And which line in header line 44 relates to? because it looks like you omitted some parts
EDIT: looks like you forgot to close brace on some of previous lines

It means that 'function' is inside another function. This probably means that you forgot a brace } somewhere before 'function' definition (maybe in one of the files you included - the error might be there)

Also you are using function as a function name which is highly highly discouraged. I would recommend you rename it to something else.

Thanks for the help! The problem WAS a forgotten '}' bracket (it was in a different header file). Thank you!

@Zereo: I did not REALLY use 'function' as the name of a function; I just did that for purposes of the post.
