c++ - Tiles not rendering in SFML despite basically being a dressed up rectangle class -

class tile : public sf::rectangleshape {  public:     tile();      tile(float);     ~tile();      void highlighttile();     bool istilehighlighted() const;     void turnoffhighlight();  private:     sf::rectangleshape m_tile;     bool m_ishighlighted; };   tile::tile() { }  tile::tile(float squaredim) : m_tile(sf::vector2f(squaredim, squaredim)), m_ishighlighted(false) { }   bool tile::istilehighlighted() const {     return (m_tile.getoutlinecolor() == sf::color::yellow); }  void tile::turnoffhighlight(){     m_tile.setoutlinethickness(0); }  void tile::highlighttile() {     m_tile.setoutlinethickness(5);     m_tile.setoutlinecolor(sf::color::yellow); }  tile::~tile(){ }   grid::grid(float squaredim)  {     tile tilepiece(squaredim);     sf::vector2f position(0, 0);     int counter = 0; //counter whether column or odd     int counter1 = 0; //counter whether on or odd row     (int row = 0; row < 8; row++) {         (int column = 0; column < 8; column++) {              if (counter1 % 2 == 0 && counter % 2 == 0 || counter1 % 2 != 0 && counter % 2 != 0) {                 tilepiece.setfillcolor(sf::color::red);             }             else {                 tilepiece.setfillcolor(sf::color::white);             }              tilepiece.setposition(position);             m_tileset[row][column] = tilepiece; //correct coordinates             m_gridmap[row][column] = sf::vector2f(tilepiece.getposition().x + squaredim / 2, tilepiece.getposition().y + squaredim / 2);             position.x += squaredim;             counter++;         }         position.y += squaredim;         position.x = 0;         counter = 0;         counter1++;     } } 

the tiles not rendering. i'm not sure issue or whether i'm doing wrong inheritance here , whether should have m_tile , makes sense..

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

you trying draw tile object (i suppose so, did not show code draws). never set dimensions, that's why can't see it. set dimensions member variable ( m_tile(sf::vector2f(squaredim, squaredim)) ) not used if draw tiles this: window.draw(tile).

you have choose: either inherit publicly rectangleshape or contain member object rectangleshape, not both.
