camera movement

Theres not a command to move the camera really, you need to translate and rotate the world matrices. If you went to nehe and actually read the tutorials, they would provide you with very helpful information

... You cannot be serious...

i thing the dummass game engine has some usefull comands for you ''situation''

It is called gluLookAt...

And I dont care how slow ppl say it is it is one call per loop!

If you dont want to use gluLookat, you can use glTranslate and glRotate, but make sure that your world matrix is the currently one selects. ie glMatrixMode(). gluLookAt will work, but if you looked at the code behind it, you will see that its essentially all matrix stuff.

Okay, if you really don''t want to read the tutorial (#10) then I''ll summarize: To move or rotate your camera, you translate or rotate in the opposite direction before you start drawing the polygons. For example, if you wanted to move -5 in the Z coordinate and turn right 90 degrees, you would translate 5, and rotate 90 degrees left. Or maybe rotate first... For a better explanation, JUST READ THE TUTORIAL!

You need to rotate before you move, otherwise you will get some funky translations, and make sure that your rotating the projection matrix if you want to be doing a camera
