There is something wrong with my code. I know the Win32 works fine, but it''s the OpenGL that has got me stumped. This code should clear the screen red, but I don''t see it happening. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // // NAME: WinGL.cpp // // // // DESC: A basic tempalte for Windows fullscreen // // OpenGL. // // // // AUTH: Andrew C.

In RenderScene() you set the color that it should clear the screen to, but you don''t actually clear the screen. The glClear( int ) function should do the trick.

Tried that, but still nothing happens.

Umm... I think you should put glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) after setting the glClearColor code.

glClearColor does not actual clear the screen it only sets the color that will be on the screen once it is cleared.
also you need to call glFinish() try code that looks like this:

glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT / GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glFinish();
glSwapBuffers(Graphics_hGLDC);
