	bool checkLimits(int line, int col, const Ship &s);

private:
	int numLines, numColumns;
	vector<Ship> ships;
	vector <vector <int> > board;

};


Hey there, why, when compiling I get the error that "Board does not name a type"? I have "Board.h" included. Why would this happen?

Regards

see point 6 for a blind guess of what is happening in your case (¡you, information withholder!)
see point 4 to fix it

Without seeing the contents of Board.h I can only assume that the class declaration/definition is in error?

Board.h added.

I did some changes on Player.h adding 

 
 
class Board;


and 

 
 
Board *board


But now on my Player.cpp, on my constructor:

Player::Player(string playerName, string boardFileName)
: name(playerName), board(boardFileName)
{
	board=Board(boardFileName);
}


cannot convert ‘Board’ to ‘Board*’ in assignment
