My game uses a tile map and when approaching the limits of the map all I currently have is the clear color (so, black). Is it possible to draw an infinite plane in OpenGL so that my map appears to extend forever..? Technically the map is just a series of GL_QUADS drawn in the required positions from a data array (int data[100][100]).
