Hey, I am trying to do my first PONG clone as everyone else I suppose and I came up with the following problem: I've done til now only 2D programming and I started opengl a few days ago and did some of the tutorials on nehe's site but for my pong game I need something that wasn't answered in a tutorial: I want to use real 3d objects even though I don't really need them. But as we are in a 45° Viewport, the objects, even when I only move them on the x or y axis, are seen by the side (this is absolutely correct) but I asked myself if there is a ways to always see the objects from the front, like a dropdown view or something and that even when they are moved on the x,y axis, the viewing angle is still the same, I mean from the front. I hope somebody did understand me and that you can help me with my little problem. Thanks.
