please help me a little

Hello, how are you all?? i would appreciate it if you help me... i've been taking a computer graphics with openGL course for a week, but now i am asked to creat a 2D simple chess board, but i hardly know the basics....
well, i can draw the first square:
.
.
.
.
.
.
#include<Gl/glut.h>
void init(void)
{
glClearColor(1.0,1.0,1.0,0.0);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
gluOrtho2D(0,90,90,0);
}
void lineSegment(void)
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
glColor3f(0.0,0.0,0.0);
glBegin( GL_QUADS );
glVertex2f( 15.0, 15.0 );
glVertex2f( -15.0, 15.0 );
glVertex2f( -15.0, -15.0 );
glVertex2f( 15.0, -15.0 );
glEnd();
glFlush();
}
void main(int argc,char**argv)
{
glutInit(&argc,argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_SINGLE|GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowPosition(50,100);
glutInitWindowSize(400,300);
glutCreateWindow("An example openGL program");
init();
glutDisplayFunc(lineSegment);
glutMainLoop();
}
.
.
.
.
.
.
but how am i suppposed to continuo? sure there must be a loop to change the squares positions and the colors,but i just need some help in loops and parameters...
anyone please?
You can do something like this
void DrawSquaresOnALine(float TranslateASquareOnY, int NumberOfSquaresOfTheCheckBoardOnY )
{
for(int i = 0; i< NumberOfSquaresOfTheCheckBoardOnY; i++)
{
glTranslatef(0,Y,0);
DrawSquare();}
}
void DrawSquare(you can put dimensions here and color)
{
glColor3f(colorR, colorG, colorB);
glVertex3f(0,0,0);
glVertex3f(1,0,0);
glVertex3f(1,1,0);
glVertex3f(0,1,0);
}
Something like that - i hope this will give you a rough ideea about what you need to do.
You sould check neve.gamedev.net for lots of cool tutorials about opengl

this is helpful, i will try to work on it, but i really don't know how to decide the (x,y) and positions of the squares... can i ask if anyone saw a whole code for drawing the board ?
i really don't love to take already done codes, but i will take it and study it.... so don't think i am a lazy person...
is there a code?

First, there's a typo: it's nehe.gamedev.net
Like guvidu sai, you could try to implement a function that takes the number of squares in x and y direction, the colors as well as the size of each square as parameters.
The function could look as follows:
Note that this function draws the checker board in the xz-plane rather than the xy-plane.
Call this function in your render function:
//clear back buffer
//setup matrices
drawCheckerBoard(8, 8, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2); //draws a 8x8 checker board with square sizes of 2x2 and black (0, 0, 0) and white (1, 1, 1) squares.
//end rendering with glFlush()
To go on:
-use a display list
-add a movable camera (e.g. gluLookAt)
-create some chessmen to play with (;))

make function which draws quad
then you want to draw this quad 8x8 times
two 'for' loops will do that:
i dont like writing code for people, but i think this should be good to make you understand
try to go through this code and understand every line
(if you dont, even if you try hard, you can write me)
float s = 1.0f; // size of quad (length of side)draw_quad(bool white){ if (white) glColor3f(1, 1, 1); else glColor3f(0.3, 0.3, 0.3); // gray, so you can see it on black background glBegin(GL_QUADS); glVertex3f(0, 0, 0); glVertex3f(s, 0, 0); glVertex3f(s, s, 0); glVertex3f(0, s, 0); glEnd();}then you want to draw this quad 8x8 times
two 'for' loops will do that:
glLoadIdentity();glTranslatef(0, 0, 0); // if you want to move the whole chessboard, change thisbool is_white = 0; // starts with black on 1afor (int x=0; x<8; x++){ for (int y=0; y<8; y++) { glPushMatrix(); // push current matrix on stack glTranslatef(x*s, y*s, 0); // translate to position of quad on board draw_quad(is_white); // draw it is_white = !is_white; // next color is always the other one glPopMatrix(); // pop matrix // (so the next loop will start at [0, 0] and can translate as needed) }}i dont like writing code for people, but i think this should be good to make you understand
