Yeah but I just wrote a function but when I call it boom an error for each perimeter.

Kinda looks like a half-baked copy/paste job to me. Read the error message and you should figure out that you're calling member functions as if they were variables: 'paball.access_moving_up' should be 'paball.access_moving_up()' and the same for all functions you call.

Also, why have you put function prototypes in the body of 'main' ?
and it looks like you trying to 'goto' a type, lol. Pobably more stuff wrong too.

Yeah Cache I found that. And I changed the gotos now I've got to figure out where my other errors. I did write this all myself except for the image collision function. First Game attempt in C++ so it's sorta sloppy. I may take the classes and functions and rewrite it.
Thanks everyone.

This is a small interesting article about the goto statement, but in the situations shown, it isn't the only method to do what he wants.

There's a case for using goto. Most of the people that use it are the ones that shouldn't be using it. If you have enough expertise to use it properly, you won't use it sloppily. Little turtles walk softly because they can't walk, hardly.

See Dawei's Views about goto.

Dev Cpp, I've had wierd errors, with it too. That's why I re-tried my code in code::blocks. Besides, Dev-Cpp (the new one anyways) is still beta.

yeah i started with it and ended up buying visual c++, i like it better, easier for me although ppl told me it was harder

Visual C++ is a great tool. But there's alittle to much there for me to use. Besides, I don't want fill my hard drive full of tools I can't use...
