I am trying o make my way through tutorial # 1 (Hello World) using the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 IDE. Everything works as advetised until I add the following code:

dbCreateAnimatedSprite ( 1, “animatedsprite.png”, 4, 4, 1 );
dbSprite ( 1, 0, 0, 1 );

When I run with debug I get the following error messages:
error C2065: '“animatedsprite' : undeclared identifier

error C2228: left of '.png”' must have class/struct/union
type is ''unknown-type''

can anyone give me a clue as to what is going on? As far as I can tell my code looks exactly like that in the tutorial. In fact, I finally jus did a copy and paste to make sure it was the same.

Thanks.

Hi,
Here is my code for the 'Hello World' project:

+ Code Snippet

// Dark GDK - The Game Creators - www.thegamecreators.com

// the wizard has created a very simple project that uses Dark GDK
// it contains the basic code for a GDK application

// whenever using Dark GDK you must ensure you include the header file
#include "DarkGDK.h"

// the main entry point for the application is this function
void DarkGDK(void)
{
	// turn on sync rate and set maximum rate to 60 fps
	dbSyncOn();
	dbSyncRate(60);

	dbCreateAnimatedSprite(1, "animatedsprite.png", 4, 4, 1);
	dbSprite(1, 0, 0, 1);

	// our main loop
	while (LoopGDK())
	{
		dbPlaySprite(1, 1, 16, 100);
		// update the screen
		dbSync();
	}

	// return back to windows
	return;
}

I hope this helps you.
