Thread: Question about classes

I'm trying to write a clone of Galaga using the allegro library and have been using classes. I have a class called enemy and I'm wondering why this isn't a valid call to the destructor

Code:

class Enemy {
	int health;
	
public:
	int x_position;
	int y_position;
	bool collision;
	BITMAP *image;

	//constructor
	Enemy(int x, int y,int h = 1){
	x_position = x;
	y_position = y;
	health = h;
	bool collision=false;
	
	image = load_bitmap("enemyShip.bmp", NULL);
}
	//destructor
	~Enemy(){destroy_bitmap(image);}

	//class functions
	int get_health(){return health;}
	void movement(int&x,int&y);
	
};

then I have the function definiton for movement here

Code:

void Enemy::movement(int &x, int &y)
{
	while(collision==false)
	{
		//try to add support for sin movement across screen
	}
	if (collision==true){~Enemy();}
}

is it not valid to call the destructor inside a class function?

this is the compiling error

error C2512: 'Enemy::Enemy' : no appropriate default constructor available

I'm figuring this means that it's thinking I'm trying to call a constructor? If so, am I mistaken that the ~Enemy() call isn't a destructor, I was under the impression that it was.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thanks for the Help,
