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?

asking in the wrong forums. Head over to gamedev.net

Thanks, I was thinking that.
