Hi guys, in my program I have two header files named "invader.h" and "game.h", in game.h I turn on invader.h and because I want to pass a pointer to the current instance of the game on an instance of invader . I also include game.h in invader.h, but I got a compilation of error.if I remove game.h from invader.h, it works fine. I am already adding an include guard in every header file. based on what I have found so far, I add a forward declaration of the game class in invader.h, because what I need is a pointer to a game instance in invader.h, but when I want to call the game function in invader. cpp, it says that a pointer to an incomplete type of a class is invalid. What should I do to solve this problem?
