My Xchat trial expired. And? I wasn't giving you the "shareware" xchat, I was giving you a link to the linux xchat project (completely free to use, "free" as in both free beer and free market) compiled for windows, which has no expiration date. Its informal names are xchat2 and ...

I've never taken an official class on programming. And I have yet to take a programming class that really teaches me things that I haven't already taught myself. There's so much information out there, why wait for someone to organize it into a curriculum and spoon-feed it to you? That said, formal ...

If you'd like to add this forum to the protest, http://sopastrike.com/#how-to-strike gives a good description of what needs to happen. EDIT: there's a list of companies protesting at http://sopastrike.com/. Google won't be blacking out, but will be putting a link on its homepage. minecraft.net is li...

szdarkhack answered your question, even if you didn't realize it. OpenGL's coordinate system is not quite the same as how you'd think of a camera's coordinate system; with a camera, a higher z means it's farther away. But in OpenGL it's actually quite the opposite: the higher the z value, the closer...

Gentlemen, it is official.

On January 18th, shit gets real and word gets out.

But this isn't the end. The Internet remains in danger until PROTECT IP is stopped as well.

Well it's gotten to the point that the only way I can help you is to have the whole program. I can't see anything majorly wrong with what's been posted, as long as you fixed what I pointed out.

Well, I see a couple things: a) glClearColor should be after glutCreateWindow(), because until the window is created, you have no clue if there's a valid context to use. b) glOrtho should not be there. Using orthographic and perspective projection at the same time will not behave like you think it d...

Post the code where you set up your projection matrix, because that seems to be the issue. You shouldn't be using both glFrustrum and gluPerspective, and it seems weird to me that calling gluPerspective with a fov angle of 0 would even work, although if you are calling both it might just be that it ...

Everyone here should know about SOPA and PROTECT IP (if not, google it and you'll find plenty, and none of it good); but we only know about it because we keep up with tech news. The majority of people do not even know they exist . Major news outlets have either said jack shit about them, or barely m...

glFrustrum, and perspective in general, have a tendency to be bitches. Between the two, however, I would recommend using gluPerspective over glFrustrum because it makes at least setting up the perspective less of a pain in the ass. Also, always post relevant code if possible. We are programmers, not...

When you say rendering, what do you mean? What functions render? The stuff between glBegin/glEnd counts as rendering. But what you're seeing might not indicate that it isn't rotating, but rather that it rotates so little that it doesn't matter. glRotate(r,x,y,z) rotates r DEGREES around the (x,y,z)...

ok, looking at your code, I see, generally, this: [init stuff] [push] [draw] [transform] [flush to screen] [pop] [push] [draw] [flush] [pop] The first issue is that flushing and buffer-swapping should both happen after ALL of your rendering is done, not halfway through. There might be a few weird si...

Why don't you post the code? Since you say it "doesn't do anything", I'm assuming that you popped the matrix again before actually using the rotation for rendering, but I can't be sure without code.

Here's the general formula for working with transformations and the matrix stack: [general transformations] [render scene based on general transforms] [push] [scene 1 transformations] [scene 1 rendering] [pop] [push] [scene 2 transformations] [scene 2 rendering] [pop] [render second scene based on g...
