eventually I want to make an actual game from this mess, but just trying to get the prelims done, and I have no real idea what I am doing

oh! using DevC++ and SDL!

return from main i think

Yeah, main returns an int so you MUST return a value.

now I need to figure out how to test for when the two objects are within 15 pixels of each other! Thank you for your input!

ps. I don't think that I need to return anything because I don't want the program to quit unless I click the x on the window.
