C++ console app with two colliding objects not Working [closed]

This wild beast of human imagination

delete ship1, ship2;

deletes ship2, but doesn’t delete ship1. Comma here is treated as sequence (comma) operator, and result of such expression is result of last sub-expression.

Your function always returns 1. You probably meant something like this

int shipdetcol(spaceship &ship1, spaceship &ship2, float colrange) 
{
    return  colrange > sqrt(abs(((ship1.x - ship2.x)*(ship1.y - ship2.y)));
}

Note you need absolute value of difference between coordinates.

Lastly, it’s C++, so don’t use:

#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>

use

#include <cstring>
#include <cmath>

Don’t use

char callsign[51];

Use

#include <string>


std::string callsign;

Now you can do:

ship1 = new spaceship { 0, 0, "Red1"};
