Thread: Problems grasping .h files...

Decided to make a RPG Adventure game using Allegro and C++ and I want to split my files up. Here's what I would want them to do.

main.cpp

Code:

#include "player_class.cpp"
#include <allegro.h>

int main(){
  allegro_init();
  return 0;}
END_OF_MAIN();

player_class.cpp

Code:

#include "player_stats.hpp"

int class_setup(int player_class){
  player_class = 1;
  return player_class;}

player_class = class_setup(player_class);

player_stats.hpp

Code:

int player_class = 0;

That's the jist of what I want, but I get errors when compiling it. I'm just wondering why that is and how to fix it?
