OpenGL Primitive Drawing

[ay_okay]

Hello. I'm making a 2d Battleship game, and everything is going well, except for the graphics. I made 2 grids for attack and defense. To position them, I used

glTranslatef(x, y, 0.0);

But now the plane changed. When I want to position the markers that show where you hit, I position them with glTranslatef as well, and this makes the plane change again, and I don't know where to put my markers now because they run off the grid. Is there a way to reset the plane, so 0,0 is in the middle again, or is there a better way to position the markers. Any help would be appreciated!

Either use glLoadIdentity(); or use the matrices:

glPushMatrix();  // Saves the current translations

   do all your glTranslates here...

glPopMatrix();   // Resets the old translations

Thanks jverkoey, that did it!
