I am learning opengl to implement games in the future. I wrote a program displaying a cube with reflection. A light is suppose to lit the cube from the left side. However the cube is seen lit from both side.
And in the render() function, if i call the printString() function, the reflection of the cube is gone. I have attached the source code file. Can someone pls see what is wrong?
Thanks
Using VC++ 6.0
It seems to me your matrix stack is getting corrupted. I don't have time to debug your program but I would suggest that you create a routine to output a matrix that you get from OpenGL. Take out your string routine so it works fine and record the matrices. Then put it in and record them and note the differences.

Thanks for the suggestion, MrWiz. But i am very new to openGL. How do i record the matrix? I have only learn how to load and multiply matrix stack, but not sure how i could read out the matrix and record them.
It's pretty easy, you can wrap the function up and have it display your matrix all nice so you don't have to repeat the code everytime. The main matrices you are worried about are modelview and projection but i doubt projection is getting messed up but check it anyways.
and similarily for projection..Code:GLdouble modelview[16]; // 4x4 matrix so we need 16 entries glGetDoublev(GL_MODELVIEW_MATRIX, modelview); // Get modelview matrix
Code:GLdouble projection[16]; // 4x4 matrix so we need 16 entries glGetDoublev(GL_PROJECTION_MATRIX, projection); // Get projection matrix
