OpenGl draw on top of tile map C++ - c++

Question

I am new to OpenGL. I have the following code that I am using from a tutorial I followed, what it does is render a tile map. It does this successfully but my problem now is that I want to add a moveable object onto the window however it is not appearing.
#include "stdafx.h"

#include <windows.h>

#include <gl\glu.h>
#include "GL/freeglut.h"
#pragma comment(lib, "OpenGL32.lib")
// window size and update rate (60 fps)
int width = 700;
int height = 700;
int interval = 1000 / 60;
// ball
float ball_pos_x = width / 2;
float ball_pos_y = height / 2;
float ball_dir_x = -1.0f;
float ball_dir_y = 0.0f;
int ball_width = 20;
int ball_height = 20;
int ball_speed = 5;
GLuint texture; //the array for our texture
GLuint texture2; //the array for our second texture
void keyboard() {
if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LEFT)) ball_pos_x -= ball_speed;
if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_RIGHT)) ball_pos_x += ball_speed;
if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_UP)) ball_pos_y += ball_speed;
if (GetAsyncKeyState(VK_DOWN)) ball_pos_y -= ball_speed;
}
int cMap[30][30] = { //our map

}
If I was to comment out in the main...
glutIdleFunc (draw);
glutReshapeFunc (reshape);
The tile map will disappear and my moveable square is visible and works...I just can't implement the two together successfully. Again i'm completely new to this so apologise if I am doing something really stupid Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Answer 1

Are you sure you want to draw the tile map with a perspective projection? It seems to me that you should be using an orthographic projection for both the tile map and the ball.
Change your reshape function to simply call enable2D(w, h). Then change your drawTiles function to draw using screen coordinates instead. That should work.
Some additional notes:
Don't forget to disable texturing when drawing your ball (you don't seem to be setting any texture for it, so it will just render with the last texture set).
You could also disable depth testing with glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST) since you don't really need it (and use glVertex2f for drawing the tile map instead of glVertex3f)
