ive been working through the opengl tutorials at gametutorials.com and everything was going fine (except for strange windows behaviour) although now im going through the camera tuts and trying to move the camera around but all its doing is disapearing off the screen...

ok now ive sorted out some of the problems.. but when i press the left or right keys the camera goes crazy and starts going around and around and also moving up abit each time. i cant figure it out...
digitec, where exactly do i call glLoadIdentity() right before i start drawing or somewhere else?

I have the same problem and here is the solution:Make sure that you include the line SetCursorPos) each time you make the camera calculations.



The pain is coming...this sommer!!!

thanks for your all your help, My main concern now is getting the frames per second function working from the tutorials
ok, heres a run down for my code

class window
{
//all the windows stuff
//its all public
}

class OGL: public Window
{
//ogl stuff
void RenderScene()
void FrameRate()
}

void OGL::FrameRate()
{
static float FramesPerSec = 0.0;
static float LastTime = 0.0;

static char strFrameRate[50] = {0};

//gets the current time in seconds
float CurrentTime = GetTickCount() * 0.001;

++FramesPerSec;

if((CurrentTime-LastTime) <1.0)
{
LastTime = CurrentTime;
sprintf(strFrameRate,"CurrentFramesPerSec: ",int(FramesPerSec));
SetWindowText(m_hWnd,strFrameRate);

FramesPerSec = 0;
}
}

void OGL::RenderScene
{
//....
....
FrameRate();
}

For some strange (annoying) reason SetWindowText() wont display to the title bar... i cant figure it out. the code is exactly how it is in the tutorial...
