C++ expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before '(' token

I know you may regard this post as another duplicate, while it's not. It's not a duplicate because my code is different than others, and nobody else's post (that I have seen) has solved my problem.

Here is my code:

#include "sprite.h"

SDL_Surface * SPRITE::screen;
int player;
void DrawPlayer(int x, int y) {
    SDL_Rect rect = {x,y,20,20};
    SDL_FillRect(SPRITE::screen, &rect, 0x00CC00);
}
DrawPlayer(20,20);

The error is on the line DrawPlayer(20,20);

Try this:

#include "sprite.h"

SDL_Surface * SPRITE::screen;
int player;
void DrawPlayer(int x, int y) {
    SDL_Rect rect = {x,y,20,20};
    SDL_FillRect(SPRITE::screen, &rect, 0x00CC00);
}

int main()
{
    DrawPlayer(20,20);
    return 0;
}

How can you call a function when not in a function body?

DrawPlayer needs to be in main or another function.

You are not calling DrawPlayer() from within any function.

You cannot have your call to DrawPlayer outside of any method. The call must be inside a class method or a global method.
