OpenGL Primitive Drawing

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

Code:

---

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:

Code:

---

glPushMatrix();  // Saves the current translations

  do all your glTranslates here...

glPopMatrix();  // Resets the old translations

---

Thanks jverkoey, that did it! :)
