im having trouble getting my program to work, i have sorting through errors for hours and am completely stumped, and odds are its going to be something really stupid. thanks in advance

BTW, you can use the [code]...[/code] tags to post code in the forum.

Anyway, your problem is that the collidesWith function is trying to take a shapeO passed by value, but you actually need it to be passed by reference. So, the collidesWith function should take either a pointer (shapeO *) or a reference (shapeO &). This needs to be updated in both shapeO and animshapeO.

BTW, perhaps the indentation got messed up in the paste to the forum, but if not, you should make an effort to indent/format your code more cleanly...it makes it much easier to read.

Thanks alot

You shouldn't re-declare the variables in animshapeO. They already exist since you derived from shapeO. You can access them by name just like any other member variable; no special syntax needed.
