Another victim of the "poorly indented code" bug: you have an extra closing } at the end of the file.

comment out one function at a time until you get back to a spot where it does compile. The last item you commented out probably has the error. Once you've found the function that's giving you trouble comment it all out to an empty body and start adding back one line/activity at a time to see what line is the likely culprit. As it stands I see several possible problems, but they should result in run time errors, not prevent compiling. Learning how to debug is as important as learning how to write code in the first place. Good luck.

Add this (for now, until you learn why not to).
#include <time>
using namespace std;

void MoveT(int *tortoisePtr, const int End_race);

change the headers as 
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iomanip>
#include <ctime>

include the following statement after the include statements
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. using namespace std;
OR
append
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. std::
before
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. cout ,endl, setw
.
For ex.
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. std::cout <<

Put a
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. std::cin.ignore(  );
before the return statement.

Is that a question?

Taking your last posted code I get errors. Changing the first few lines to this.
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #include <iostream>
  2. #include <cstdlib>
  3. #include <iomanip>
  4. #include <ctime>
  5. using namespace std;
And it compiles and runs. This is my output.
