More homework for classwork

This week, my instructor had to take another leave of absence, and in his place he left us a few exercises. First, I was instructed to explore some OpenGL code examples, and just submit proof that I got the files running on my computer. Click on the following picture for a larger view of the screenshot I took of the simple reshaping program he provided us:




The next assignment was to alter or make some of code of my own that generates something that is rotated when the arrow keys of a keyboard are pressed. What I did, basically, was take some code from an example that drew a quarter of a wireframe globe and changed it so that it would instead draw the entire globe. I then added the functionality of it rotating on keypresses by referencing a previous example that demonstrated such functionality. After satisfying all my instructor's pre-requisits, I decided to go ahead and make it feel more my own, so I changed the color of the globe from white to red with a simple alteration of the code.
