Indices and me probably being an idiot
Author
Alright I'm having an issue with indices and freaking drawing a simple cube. Either me or the indices are being retarded about this. Its probably me. I think maybe I got the addition for coordinates messed up.
So, what result are you getting. I'm guessing that only some parts of it are showing up? It looks to me like your winding order isn't consistent.It may help to draw out the cube on paper and number the verts, so you can have it in front of you, and can trace out the tris/sides to help you get the vert order correct.

I tried drawing it out on paper. No luck. Infact that was the first thing I tried.

Changed a couple indices, try it with these.
edit: I am fairly sure some of your groups for faces were incorrect, but my order inside those groups might also be incorrect.
Top: 0,1,4,5
Front: 0,1,2,3
Left: 4,0,3,7
Right: 1,2,5,6
Bottom: 3,2,6,7
Back: 4,5,6,7
Top: 0,1,4,5
Front: 0,1,2,3
Left: 4,0,3,7
Right: 1,2,5,6
Bottom: 3,2,6,7
Back: 4,5,6,7
Heh. I was going to suggest:
Front: 0, 2, 3, 1
Right: 1, 3, 7, 5
Left: 0, 4, 6, 2
Back: 4, 5, 7, 6
Top: 0, 1, 5, 4
Bottom: 2, 6, 7, 3
From the picture, it looks like his normals are flipped for most of the sides, which is why I reversed their winding order. Also, the yellow/green face looks mis-indexed, but it doesn't look like it should be from the code. It would help if each vertex had a unique color instead of having two vertices share a color.
In addition to ordering the strips, remember to allocate the right buffers, 8 vertices in the vertex buffer and 29 in the index buffer (24 + 5). Your numVertices = 24 might mess some things up. Also winding order and culling mode can matter.
Another alternative for the strips, if Y+ is up and Z+ is further in, and you have clockwise frontfaces that should be on the outside of the cube.
0, 1, 2, 3, // front
0xffffffff,
5, 4, 7, 6, // back
0xffffffff,
4, 0, 6, 2, // left
0xffffffff,
1, 5, 3, 7, // right
0xffffffff,
4, 5, 0, 1, // top
0xffffffff,
2, 3, 6, 7 // bottom

I read my diagram totally wrong I think. I did it very small in pen
edit: the bottom right is a 7.

No luck with any of those, it still is messed up. I think the coordinates themselves are messed up.
The coordinates look correct to me. As I said before, it would be easier if each vertex were uniquely colored. That way you identifying which face is which would be easier in the graphic, and you could fix the faces one at a time. I'd just send two faces (after changing to unique vertex colors), and ensure theyre correct before adding a third, and so on. I recommend starting with two so you can easily tell if the normals are flipled.

I've beginning to notice that the major issue is with the left face, no matter what, one point is always connected to vertex 4.
Issue is far from my code, I'm beginning to think either my computer is racist towards cubes, or I messed up something earlier on in the code.
I just took code out of a book I have for drawing a cube and the same crap is also happening.
