having a little problem with some code for a little game I am creating.

[ThaDoctor]

Hi.

I am quite new to C++ so I think I would ask here what I am doing
wrong with this code.
I am writing a little game in a text console, but here is something
that is in no way related to the game but when I am compiling this it
yields an error....
Why is that

#include<iostre am>
using namespace std;
class Test
{

private:
int life;

public:
void player_test_lif e()
{
if(life <= 0)
{
cout << "Your dead" << endl;
}
else
{
}
}
void player_minus_li fe()
{
life=100;
while(life != 0)
{
--life;
Test::player_te st_life();

}
}
};

int main()
{
Test::player_mi nus_life();
return 0;
}

Do we have to guess what error it yields? Is that the game?

Why is that

Because there must be some error in the code...

"You're dead"

}
else
{
}
}
void player_minus_li fe()
{
life=100;
while(life != 0)
{
--life;
Test::player_te st_life();

}
}
};

Test::player_mi nus_life();

You cannot call a non-static member function without an instance of
the class. Create an instance and use the '.' operator to call your
member function

return 0;
}

Test::player_mi nus_life();

Try:
Test player;
player.player_m inus_life();

instead - you're trying to call a non-static method without an instance
to call it on.

It seems like you forgot to instantiate an object of the class Test.
