Need help with member function w/dynamic array

[LookRat]

I've created a dynamic array to use as a variably-sized game board, but obviously need to use it outside the function I'm using to create it itself. Can I have some assistance with turning MakeArray() into a member function?
I'm getting "error C2065: 'tiles' : undeclared identifier" at tiles[i] in DrawBoard().

I think everything relevant's included. I'll keep trying myself in the meantime.

Board.cpp

// makes the dynamic array for the board's grid of tiles.
void Board::MakeArray(void)
{
	int *tiles = NULL;
	tiles = new int[boardX*boardY];
	for (int i=0; i < boardX*boardY; i++)
	{
		tiles[i] = 0; // initialise all board tiles to 0
	}
}

void Board::DrawBoard(void)
{
	for (int i=0; i < boardX*boardY; i++)
	{
		cout << tiles[i] <<" ,";
	}
}

main.cpp

int main()
{
	Board brd;
//...
	brd.MakeArray(); 
	brd.DrawBoard();

	return 0;
}

Board.h

class Board
{

public:

	int boardX;
	int boardY;

	Board(void);
	~Board(void);
	void MakeArray();
	void DrawBoard();
//...
};

You have to make your variable, tiles, a member of class Board, like you have boardX and boardY, but make it a private member.

Edit: when you do that, also remove your declaration(int *tiles = NULL and put tiles = NULL in your constructor)

I've succeeded in creating more errors than I had to begin with. :saddowns:

Thanks for that extra info in the edit though; that would've no doubt created more hair-tearing for me otherwise.

"You have to make your variable, tiles, a member of class Board"

This is exactly the thing I've been having an issue with. I know I need to do it, it's just the implementation itself I'm stuck on. Elaboration on how, in this specific instance very much appreciated.

Just declare "int *tiles" in the class instead of as a local variable in the MakeArray() function. The same way you declared boardX and boardY (except that tiles should be private).
