Hello again, its the one who drew the square off the screen Now I`ve advanced onto polygons. My problem is that I want to know how to move a polygon like a car by pressing, say, the up arrow. If possible I would like to know how to move it around like a car, moving in the x axis and the z axis at the same time. thanks in advance Baldur

If you are using nehes code you should add the following lines

in the drawing function before you use glBegin() and the line

glTranslatef( xPos , yPos , zPos )

make sure you declare these at the top of the program as global varibles.

Then in the piece of code where you have swapbuffers(hDC)
add the next couple of lines

if (keys[VK_LEFT])
xPos -= 0.2f;
if (keys[VK_RIGHT])
xPos += 0.2f;

That moves left and right

You have to add

bool keys[256] ; to the top of the prog..

Another idea is to read through nehes tuts as this is explained in details
