I am working in open gl using visual c++.I have made a quad a balls.Now i want to bounce the balls on quad repeadetly but i donot know how to do this??i thought of timerfunction to use but i donot know how to use it??which coordinates to set.here is the code

Welcome to Daniweb! Although your question is written in c++, you may have better luck with this kind of thing in the Game Development forum:
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum71.html

Also, be sure to use /code at the end of your code tags so they are applied!

I'd also try to simplify your question into sub-questions. To make something "bounce", it seems to me that you need to know how to do two things.

1) make an object move
2) detect collisions between two objects

Good luck,

Dave

And for god's sake format your code so that we can read it! No one is going to read all that unformatted crap.

I'll admit that I tried re-formatting it and re-posting it, got about a quarter of the way through and gave up.

Then just attach the *.cpp files. If you are using the quick editor, Click the "Use Advanced Editor" button, scroll down and click the "Manage Attachments" button.

I'm not the OP, I was going to re-post it for him ^^

I'd say attaching a file is a last resort. There aren't many questions that can't be simplified into a very short, compilable version of the problem and posted reasonable with code tags.
