C++ Cootie game errors

Question

I finished the code for the most part, I'm supposed to create a cootie game which adds arms legs heads etc to each players cootie depending on the dice roll which they throw. I've been getting errors however when I try to compile it and I'm not exactly sure what it is I'm supposed to do to rid them. I'm absolutely terrible at programming but I will try my best to understand your responses, Thankyou so much for your help!

Here are the errors:

Answer 1

Judging from the errors, you forgot to import some header files.

It also seems like there is another error later on down the road involving an else statement. I'd say this is probably a syntax error you've made. Your compiler should make it reasonably easy for you to isolate this one.

Answer 2

There's obviously a lot to fix there.

The first problem,

Player.h:14: error: ‘cootie’ does not name a type

indicates that cootie.h should be included from Player.h so the declaration of class cootie is visible when it is used.
