OpenGL not rendering

[drummerp]

Have you tried the Window or OpenGL examples provided with the SFML SDK?

Yes, both of them work just fine, which confuses me greatly.

Ok, so you can start from them and try to build your own code on top of that.

It still displays no more than a blank screen, and I cannot determine why. Please, any explanation is greatly appreciated, let alone help. I just want to get this working.

Hello:
In your code at the end of your setup function, you need to setup a perspective projection like so:

Code: [Select]

   glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
    glLoadIdentity();
    gluPerspective(90.f, 1.f, 1.f, 500.f);

And in your render function you need to add glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW); like so:

Code: [Select]

void render() {
    // Clear the window with current clearing color
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
    glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
I hope that helps!
