Unresolved Externals

fiji885 (306)
I don't see what's wrong with my code... I have declared my functions and gave it definitions, but it still gives me 1 unresolved externals. I've been trying to solve this for 2 hours now and none of the solutions online can help me. Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

Please copy and paste the exact error message - even though it looks like a jumbled mess, the linker error will tell you exactly which function it can't find a definition for.

On line 8 of game.cpp you have a semicolon, I'm surprised your compiler didn't at least warn you.

That's because he is not compiling the file.

@OP: you need to add game.cpp to your project
