Hey, there. What's going on here?!

Code:
if(S_OBJECTS[i]!=NULL)apply_surface(S_OBJECTS[i]->x,S_OBJECTS[i]->y,S_OBJECTS[i]->sprites[S_OBJECTS[i]->cursprite],screen);
object array defined here:
Code:
struct object *S_OBJECTS[15];
When compiled it outputs:

Code:
error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

You're writing code without any regard to the enter key, not illegal but hard to read.

If you want a more useful answer you might need to explain the class object.
