I'm trying to make it where I can draw an square with the values in the global array. I made it work without vertex array before but now I need to save it in array so I can possibly delete a square with just a mouse click. However I can't get the squares to show up on screen, it just appears blank. Any suggestions?

Have you checked your compiler warnings? Using GCC, I'm getting two:

  1. In function 'GLPoint mid(GLPoint, GLPoint)':
    warning: left-hand operand of comma has no effect
    GLPoint mid(GLPoint A, GLPoint B)
    {
        GLPoint midpt = (GLPoint) {
            ((A.x + B.x) / 2, (A.y + B.y) / 2)
        };
        return midpt;
    }

    Try removing the outer brackets: (A.x + B.x) / 2, (A.y + B.y) / 2

  2. In function 'void myMouse(int, int, int, int)':
    warning: statement has no effect
    if(state == GLUT_DOWN)
    {
        if(button == GLUT_LEFT_BUTTON)
        {
            for(int j = 0; j < totalmarbles; j++)
            {
                if(hitbox[j] < 100)
                {
                    vertices[63];
                    drawrectangles();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    What are you trying to do with that line?
