error C2872: 'byte': ambiguous symbol - Possible solution.

[AlC65]

If anyone is getting the 'byte': ambiguous symbol error message a possible solution is given here:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/93889/error-c2872-byte-ambiguous-symbol.html
If you declare 'using namespace std;' in your main.cpp place it after #include"olcPixelGameEngine.h".
This will place the declaration after #inlcude<windows.h> contained in olcPixelGameEngine.h.

#define OLC_PGE_APPLICATION
#include "olcPixelGameEngine.h"
using namespace std;

EDIT: This only applies to c++17 and up.
