Weird error [SFML 2.4.2] [screenshot included] [problematic code included]

[JamesYeoman]

So I was happily coding away and then I realised that I had screwed up somewhere in a constructor (because the build failed)... ok... so I go to the constructor and this happened:


ok... this is ok... I can fix this... (or so I thought)

5 mins later



yeah...

Here is the code

/*

#include "Game.h"

Game::Game(uint16_t windowWidth, uint16_t windowHeight, std::string title)
{
        this->window = sf::RenderWindow(sf::VideoMode(windowWidth, windowHeight), title);
        this->window.setVerticalSyncEnabled(true);
        this->score = 0;
        this->isRoundOver = false;
}

void Game::createEntities()
{
        p1 = Paddle(sf::Vector2f(20, 100), 1);
}

void Game::startLoop()
{
        createEntities();

        while (window.isOpen())
        {
                sf::Event event;
                while (window.pollEvent(event))
                {
                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                window.close();
                }
               
                window.clear();
                p1.Update();
                window.draw(p1.getBody());
                window.display();
        }
}

this->window.create(...).

Just read the docs next time

Since it's in the constructor, you can also use the initialization list.

Game::Game(...) : window(...)
{
   ...
}

Thanks Laurent. I actually didn't know about initialization lists. When I saw your reply, I went straight to google and looked them up
