C++ Allegro - time(&secs) help!!!

Hi

I need help for my pong game.
I am using Dev-C++, using the 'default compiler'.
I am using the tutorial at cppgameprogramming.com

Here is my code for the game setup.

void gamesetup(){

acquire_screen();
rectfill ( buffer, p1x, p1y, p1x + 10, p1y + 60, makecol ( 102, 255, 102));
rectfill ( buffer, p2x, p2y, p2x + 10, p2y + 60, makecol ( 255, 204, 255));
circlefill ( buffer, x, y, 5, makecol ( 0, 0, 230));
draw_sprite( screen, buffer, 0, 0);
release_screen();

time(&secs);
srand( (unsigned int)secs);

dir = rand() % 4 + 1;
}


I get this error:

148 G:\Cpp\Classics\Pong\main.cpp cannot convert `time_t (*)()' to `time_t*' for argument `1' to `time_t time(time_t*)'

Line 148 is the time(&secs); one.

I used the exact code from the tutorial, with edited variables, function names, and colours.

Can someone please help me sort this out.

Thanks

What is "secs"?

Viggy

seconds...thats why it says time

What I meant is, what is it's type? It's not a 'time_t'.
