Whenever I attempt to run any code with

+ Code Snippet

while ( LoopGDK () )

in it I get this error report.

this

while ( LoopGDK () )

must to be inside

void DarkGDK( void )
{
}

like this:

+ Code Snippet

void DarkGDK( void )
{
    while ( LoopGDK () )
    {
    }
}

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

That's not true - it can be in whatever function contains your main loop, which can even be a class function if you want.

@Dar13,
This appears to be a conflict caused by linking to the wrong C++ runtime (apart from that initial warning, which is something you'll need to fix).

Make sure that your runtime library is set to 'Multithreaded (/MT)', even if you are compiling in debug mode (which I'd guess that you are).

Well... I wanted to say that there should be at least a function called DarkGDK( void ) just in case of not getting some errors.

For Example this:

darksdk.lib(DarkSDK.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl DarkGDK(void)" (?DarkGDK@@YAXXZ) referenced in function _WinMain@16

How exactly can you make sure your runtime library is /MT? I'm a little new to the IDE and language. Thanks for the help so far.

-EDIT-I've got this code in my program:

+ Code Snippet

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "DarkGDK.h"

int exit( int& a )
{
	if ( a == 1 )
		return 0;
}
int shoot ( int& ammo )
{
	ammo = ammo - 1;
	return ammo;
}
int reload ( int& clips, int& ammo )
{
	ammo = 50;clips = clips - 1;
	if ( clips == 0 )
	{ 
		std::cout << "out of ammo. Type 'exit' to exit.";
	}
	return 0;
} 
void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	int a = 0;
	int ammo = 50;
	int health = 100;
	int lives = 5;
	int clips = 5;
	std::cin >> a;
	std::cout << ammo << health << lives << std::endl;

	while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
	{
		if ( dbMouseClick() == 1 )
		{
			shoot( ammo );
		}

		if ( ammo <= 0 )
		{
			reload( clips, ammo );
		}
		if ( a == 1 )
		{
			exit ( a );
		} 
	}
	return 0;
}

with these errors

+ Code Snippet

error C2668: 'exit' : ambiguous call to overloaded function
error C2562: 'DarkGDK' : 'void' function returning a value

Does this help at all? i'm ignoring atls.lib too.

at this error:

+ Code Snippet

error C2668: 'exit' : ambiguous call to overloaded function

just rename the function's name

and at this error:

+ Code Snippet

error C2562: 'DarkGDK' : 'void' function returning a value

you must replace <<return 0;>> just with <<return;>>

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.
