Global classes and a typedef question!

Hello.

I've made a class called CWorld. It has members like 'hge' and 'loadedMap'.
The class looks like this:

Code:

class CWorld {

public:

	HGE* hge;	// Leaving this as a pointer as I like using '->' for hge stuff
	hgePolygonMap* loadedMap;	// Same as above and other reasons

	CWorld()  { hge = hgeCreate(HGE_VERSION); loadedMap = new hgePolygonMap(hgeVector(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT), true); }

};

Now, why doesn't it work to do

Code:

if(CWorld::hge->System_Initiate())

Code:

CWorld::hge->System_Start();

And so on?

Also, is it possible to do

Code:

typedef CWorld::hge hge;

I get some errors for that...

Thanks in advance!

hge is a non-static member variable so you need a CWorld object to access it.

Not used to working with static members...

Code:

class CWorld {

public:

	static HGE* hge;	// Leaving this as a pointer as I like using '->' for hge stuff
	static hgePolygonMap* loadedMap;	// Same as above and other reasons

	CWorld()  { hge = hgeCreate(HGE_VERSION); loadedMap = new hgePolygonMap(hgeVector(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT), true); }

};

gives me this error

Code:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: static class HGE * CWorld::hge" (?hge@CWorld@@2PAVHGE@@A)

Nevermind!

Moved hge elsewhere, but thanks for reply tho!
