draw rectangles at different positions while in game loop

[ebon tusk]

I think there's a simple solution I'm overlooking, but how can I do it so that the 3 rectangles are at different x positions from each other without getting moved out the screen.

//Game.cpp
void Game::draw_cars(sf::RenderWindow& window)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < state.cars.size(); i++) {
        state.cars[i].draw_vehicles(window);
    }
}

//Car.cpp

void Car::draw_vehicles(sf::RenderWindow& window)
{
    rectangle.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(CAR_POSITION_X + Offset, CAR_POSITION_Y));
    window.draw(rectangle);
}

this is source.cpp

int main()
{
    //...

    Game game;

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        while (const std::optional event = window.pollEvent())
        {
            if (event->is<sf::Event::Closed>())
            {
                window.close();
            }
        }

        window.clear();

        game.draw_cars(window);
        //game.move_cars();

        window.display();
    }
}

What's the issue now?

I want to draw the cars at different x positions and do it in a simple way

If I use static variables and add them to the x position they get moved out the screen

[dusty belfry]

Probably Car should have its position as a non-static variable

And then when you create the cars, that piece of code decides where they will be

[ebon tusk]

I have car inherit from vehicle, so I forgot to give position_x and position_y values

you're right, I was doing it in a weird way

[ebon tusk]

I'm getting red squiggly lines for this. Does this look normal, because I think VS is just being weird

Car::Car(int x, int y, int vel_x, int vel_y, int offset) : Vehicle{ x, y, vel_x, vel_y }, offset{ offset }
{

}
