I''m not sure I know EXACTLY what you want to achieve but moving an object is quite simple.
When you draw an object, you have to know where to draw it, correct?
What I would do is create a structure called coordinate:
then make an instance of it:
initialize it:
and when you draw your object:
and if you want it to move:
Hope this helps

coordinate square; initialize it:
square.xPos = 0.0f; square.yPos = 0.0f; square.zPos = 0.0f; and when you draw your object:
... glTranslatef(square.xPos, square.yPos, square.xPos); ... and if you want it to move:
if (keyDown[VK_RIGHT]) { ... square.xPos += 1.0f; // or whatever increment you want ... } Hope this helps
