Hi i am having problems with my assignment. i am supposed to make a 2d top down view game and i started on doing the main menu. i tried at making a main menu and it worked. after that i changed the codes and put them into classes and this is where the problem starts to come. the textures dont seem so appear on my output window. when compiling there is no error at all. just a black blank screen. i have checked my textures, they worked and they were loaded properly. i have also checked all my header files to see if they were called into main.cpp. last bu not least i have also checked the camera position. its in the correct position to view the mainmenu.
this is my mainmenu.h

#include "myengine.h"

class Mainmenu {
	private:
		//Boolean for clicking start button
		bool Start;
		//Boolean for clicking end button
		bool End;

		//Boolean for mouseover at certain button
		bool AtButton[2];

		GLfloat color;	

	public:
		Mainmenu();
		void Update(float);
		void Buttons(void);
		void MouseClick(int);
		void MouseoverButton(int, int, float, float);
		
		void StartPage(void);
		void Render(void);

		bool GetStart(void);
		bool GetEnd(void);
};
