Question about auxSolidCube

[NOMADMAN]

In OGL, auxSolidCube. Is this a good one to use for a tetris clone? I need to track corner coordinates and stuff, can I get that from auxSolidCube.

I tried making my cubes from 6 rectangles but theres gotta be an easier way.

Also, can you color the cube like you color vertices with glBegin (GL_WHATEVERS);?

Thanks!

I think the aux library is being phased out in favour of GLUT, there might still be a use for it though.

You could probably just use:

glColor3f(red, green, blue);
auxSolidCube(...); /* or glutSolidCube(...) */

I doubt you'll be able to track the corners easily with that, but cubes aren't that hard to draw by yourself

Thanks Parksie.
You're right, and for now that's how I have it. I havn't heard of GLUT, my book is kinda old. You know know where I can get some info on that?

Thanks!
