It should be included in the DarkSDKDisplay.h file, which should be nested in one of the DarkGDK.h file. I'd try adding that header file to the program and see if it stops complaining.

Thanks for your reply AdBot
DarkSDKDisplay.h has been included still no change. Has no one ever compiled the code?
Or is this just my computer and compiler setup? I have tried to run the Dark Invader executable
That was precompiled it is not every stable crashes round about or after Level 3 I once got to Level 6 then the program crashed with an exception. I have a dual core Intel E6600 and Graphics card Nvidi Geforce 7900 GTX.

I don't think dbDesktopWidth or dbDesktopHeight are valid library functions which is why it won't compile. The really puzzling thing is how have these statements got into your Dark Invaders.cpp file? I've checked mine and there is no reference to either of these statements in any of the files (nor in the documentation file). In the Dark Invaders.cpp file on my system, line 138 (where the error occurs) says playerReset(); and it is inside a function called gameReset().

I have not changed any of the program code. I just down loaded it from the game creators file server which was mentioned at the end of Lee’s Webcast, I would like to know where you got your code from.

I had a few problems like this before... I think maybe just the server is being updated constantly? I didn't even pay attention to it. I just got tutorials and started looking at 'real' source code that was developed by people using the GDK
