Help: Problem with SDL code

[SpiralCorp]

The code: http://pastebin.ca/481492

I'm having a problem in line 128. Right as the sprite class
constructor begins. The compiler spits this at me:
"Return type specification for constructor invalid
New types may not be defined in a return type"

******************
class sprite
{
private:
int x, y, xvel, yvel, phase; //Determines sprite position
offsets and velocity

public:
sprite(); //Constructor
void handle_input();
void move ();
void show ();
}

sprite::sprite()
{
//Initialize offsets and velocity
x = 25;
y = 385;
xvel = 0;
yvel = 0;
phase = 0;
}
*********************
As you can see I'm not defining anything. I have no idea whats wrong
here, the problem must be somewhere else in the code? I'm lost here.

Yes, there are other errors but I need to get past this one first and
yes the code is not quite complete but still, what the hell is up with
this one?

could the problem lie in line 12?

SDL_Surface * sprite = NULL;

You forgot the semicolon here.

sprite::sprite()
{
//Initialize offsets and velocity
x = 25;
y = 385;
xvel = 0;
yvel = 0;
phase = 0;

Thanks, that cleared up the class issue. Now ofcourse, I have more
problems... and all escape me. I really hope the new ones aren't as
embarrasing >_>

Heres the new code: http://pastebin.ca/481617

Problem 1:
Line 166 expected primary-expression before ',' token

Problem 2:
Line 206 expected `;' before "guysprite"

Ideas? =/

Thanks for the help, guys.

You're trying to call a function. What's the third argument? What
did you intend it to be?

Problem 2:
Line 206 expected `;' before "guysprite"

Apparently it doesn't accept 'sprite' as a type-id. Perhaps it got
confused earlier.

Ideas? =/

None, really.

Well, I figured it out a while ago. Forgot to check back here. Turns
out the compiler took issue with me using "sprite" as both a class AND
a surface variable. Thats what I get for recycling code. I've
restarted the whole thing, maybe I'll be back here with more newbie
mistakes in the near future =/
