    HIVE OpenGL help

    I've been trying to port HIVE to OpenGL for some time (multiple attempts). My biggest problem is the coordanate system. I would like HIVE to be consistant by always using the same coordanate system; origin in upper left, goes to width-1,height-1 in lower right. I've already tried doing calculations to convert, which works, but is terribly slow. Could someone show me how to instruct OpenGL to use a different coordinate system, or at least one that goes from 0,0 to width-1,height-1 (subtracting to get the new origin is quick).

    Are you talking about an orthographic projection?

    glOrtho lets you assign which is the top left corner.

    Nope

    It didn't work. I tried putting glOrtho(0,W-1,0,H-1,0,0); where W is the width and H is the height; it failed.

    Edit:
    It works! I just had to try glOrtho(0,W-1,0,H-1,1,-1); ! I am so greatfull; I think I'll add a comment in the sources commending you!
