Can't declare object

I am getting an error on this line:

Attack a("Nothing", 60, Magic);

Here is the error:

..\main.cpp:11: error: expected `;' before "a"
..\main.cpp:11: warning: statement has no effect

Here are the relevant files: main.cpp:

#include "Attack.h"

int main() {
    Attack a("Nothing", 60, Magic);

    return 0;
}

Attack.h:

#ifndef ATTACK_H_
#define ATTACK_H_

#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

enum ATTACK_ATTRIBUTE {
    Attack, Speed, Magic
};

class Attack {
private:
    std::string name;
    int power; //Out of 10
    ATTACK_ATTRIBUTE attribute;

public:
    Attack(std::string name, int power, ATTACK_ATTRIBUTE attribute);
    virtual ~Attack();

    std::string getName();

    ATTACK_ATTRIBUTE getAttribute();

    int getPower();
};

#endif /* ATTACK_H_ */

You have a class and an enumerator both called 'Attack'. Try changing one of the names to something else.

The enum value Attack is in the same namespace as Attack the class and they are conflicting.

You have defined your Attack class in a header file but I don't see an implementation for it. Don't you need to implement the class methods?
