    Question OpenGL Color Change?

    how could i change the color in an animation, in my book, so far it's only shown hot to make the object move. I tried making an array:

    Code:
    float clvl[3]={0.0,0.0,0.0};
    and putting it in with the drawing color:

    Code:
    glColor3f(clvl[0],clvl[1],clvl[2]);
    and then made a statement that cycles through the different variables and changes them accordingly:

    Code:
    int pos=rand()%3;
    if(clvl[pos]==1.0)
    {
         clvl[pos]=0.0;
    }
    else
    {
         clvl[pos]=clvl[pos]+.1;
    }
    The problem is, is that I don't know where to put this statement. I'm not using system specific code, so it should look like it fits in with a console application.

    Make a 2 dimensional array for the colors, like so:

    Code:
    float Color[5][3]= {
    {/*1.0f,0.0f,0.0f*/},{color2},etc.
    }
    then just call
    Code:
    glColor3f(Color[?]);
    and it will read the 2nd array into it.

    *EDIT*

    then for the cycling, make an array that every 2 frames, cycles through the colors, like so:
    Code:
    if (count ==2)
    {
    
    temp=Color[0];
    for (x=0;x<5;x++)
    {
    Color[x] = Color[x+1];
    }
    Color[4]=temp;
    count = 0;
    }
    
    count++
    or something similar, I am not thinking very well right now
