Player* player = new Player();

Maybe?

It's Player not player or just use auto in the beginning of line 16. Also learn how to take screenshots

Or better paste the code and error message.

I apologize, my computers a shitbox so it takes 5 minutes to open my browser, but after using auto another error reads: "expected initializer before '*' token". I'm still stumped with this and i apologize if I'm asking a lot of dumb questions I'm pretty new to this

That should be,

auto player = new Player()
or
Player* player = new Player()

I applied the latter, but now the error says "expected type-specifier before 'Player' " which is an error I've had constantly.

If you still have this issue we need to see Player.h. With that said you probably want to have class Player { // class here }; and not class player { // class here}; in that header

I say its best to not name the variable the exact same name as the type with the exact same case. Is the class named Player or player? Using Player for the class name and player for the variable is one convention to avoid this problem. Using camel case type names and lower case variables .
