CPSC 414 Assignment 0

This is an exercise to get you started on OpenGL. It will not be graded. If you run into problems, talk to your TA.

Experiment more on your own if you like. The glut library comes with a variety of geometric shapes and, of course, a teapot.

Download and untar a0.tar. There are only two files:
openGLDemo.cpp, makefile
build the executable using make, run it
make the triangle white at the top and green at the bottom
add a second triangle at right angles to the first to get a crude approximation of a Christmas tree
make the triangles rotate around the X axis instead of the Y axis
hitting 'q' should quit the program
hitting space should toggle the animation on and off
place a small glut teapot centered at the top triangle vertex and coloured the same as that vertex
