Hello, I was partaking in the global game jam (where you have to try to make a game in 48 hours). I got my game pseudo-finished, but I cannot get it to render the scene properly. Here is the code related to the rendering:

Code for opengl initialization:

glClearColor(0.5f,0.5f,0.5f,1.0f);
float ambLight[]={0.5f,0.5f,0.5f,1.0f};
glLightfv(GL_LIGHT1,GL_AMBIENT,ambLight);
glEnable(GL_LIGHT1);
LoadTextures();
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH);
glClearDepth(1.0f);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);
glHint(GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT,GL_NICEST);

Code for opengl drawing (called every frame):

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
gluPerspective(FOV,(double)winWidth/(double)winHeight,NEAR_RENDER,FAR_RENDER);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glViewport(0,0,winWidth,winHeight);
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT|GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glRotatef(dty,1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
glRotatef(dtx,0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
glTranslatef(-x,PLAYER_HEIGHT_STAND, -y);
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,wall[level]);
glColor3f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f);
//...
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D,ground);
for (int yy=0; yy<mazeDimy; ++yy)
{
    for (int xx=0; xx<mazeDimx; ++xx)
    {
        glBegin(GL_QUADS);
            glTexCoord2f(0.0f,0.0f);
            glVertex3f(xx*WALL_LENGTH,FLOOR_HEIGHT,yy*WALL_LENGTH);
            glTexCoord2f(0.0f,1.0f);
            glVertex3f(xx*WALL_LENGTH,FLOOR_HEIGHT,(yy+1)*WALL_LENGTH);
            glTexCoord2f(1.0f,1.0f);
            glVertex3f((xx+1)*WALL_LENGTH,FLOOR_HEIGHT,(yy+1)*WALL_LENGTH);
            glTexCoord2f(1.0f,0.0f);
            glVertex3f((xx+1)*WALL_LENGTH,FLOOR_HEIGHT,yy*WALL_LENGTH);
        glEnd();
    }
}

I have a window showing a gray background (my clear colour) so I know that it set up properly, but for some reason I can't seem to get it to draw any of my quads. Any ideas?

My first guess would be that your generated mesh might be going out of your view frustum.
It would be best to go incrementally. Using an ortho projection is simpler. So, i would suggest the following:
1) Get the mesh to render in ortho, without any transforms(or minimal), just to check what the mesh looks like.
2) Incrementally add other transforms.
3) Finally check with perspective.

this makes things simpler. Hope this helps

PS: Could you please let me know more details of this competition? Thanks!

I am not too well versed in how OpenGL works (I am still learning it, there is so much to learn) but I don't think that that is the problem because I have already added movement and view controls, and I have tried looking around and moving to no avail. Here is the code for my movement:

    double stheta=sin(dtx*PI180);
double ctheta=cos(dtx*PI180);
int nx=x,ny=y;
if (W||Up||Comma)
{
    ny+=VELOCITY*stheta;
    nx+=VELOCITY*ctheta;
}
if (A||Left)
{
    ny+=VELOCITY*ctheta;
    nx+=VELOCITY*stheta;
}
if (S||Down||O)
{
    ny-=VELOCITY*stheta;
    nx-=VELOCITY*ctheta;
}
if (D||Right||E)
{
    ny-=VELOCITY*ctheta;
    nx-=VELOCITY*stheta;
}
if (Ctrl)
    height=PLAYER_HEIGHT_CROUCH;
else
    height=PLAYER_HEIGHT_STAND;
//Collision detection:

if (((end.xi==end.xf)&&(//horizontal wall case
    (x<(end.xi-WALL_WIDTH)&&nx>(end.xi-WALL_WIDTH))||//to the left

    ((end.zi==end.zf)&&(//vertical wall case
    (y<(end.zi-WALL_WIDTH)&&ny>(end.zi-WALL_WIDTH))||//above
    (y>(end.zi+WALL_WIDTH)&&ny<(end.zi+WALL_WIDTH)))))//below

    mazeDimx*=size_factors[level];
    mazeDimy*=size_factors[level++];
    if (level>19)
    {
        int sel=MessageBox(NULL,"OMG! You beat all the levels... do you want"

for (int i=0; i<walls.size(); ++i)
{

    {

Can you show us your game logic loop?

Also what kind of scales are you using?

How long have you tried holding down one of your movement keys for?

Are you sure you're "looking" the right way?

Note that I am aware that the style (lots of globals, no classes, etc) is less than ideal for debugging, I only had 48 hrs to make this, I am working on converting the code to a more friendly format, but it will take awhile (the game jam has put me a bit behind on my school work, and coop season is just around the corner so I have to work on applying to jobs too)

The only thing that really stands out initially is the following:

while (!bQuit)
105.    {
106.        /* check for messages */
107.        if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
108.        {
109.            /* handle or dispatch messages */
110.            if (msg.message == WM_QUIT)
111.            {
112.                bQuit = TRUE;
113.            }
114.            else
115.            {
116.                TranslateMessage(&msg);
117.                DispatchMessage(&msg);
118.            }
119.        }
120.        else
121.        {
122.            MazeStep(bQuit);
123.            SwapBuffers(hDC);
124.        }
125.    }

The else statement in this loop means you aren't drawing and performing animation/physics every iteration through the loop, only the times when you don't have a message from the OS.

It would probably be worth moving that out of the else clause so that it's executed every iteration regardless. I have a suspicion that you are drawing only once, when you set your clear colour.

Make that change and see if it fixes it, if not, I won't have chance to step through your code myself until about 19:30GMT

Ok, I tried removing the else, and calling the mazeStep from both the if and the else, neither worked... any other ideas?

Unfortunately I've been so busy I haven't had time to look into this. Do you already have a solution?
If you do, please post it :)
If not, I haven't forgotten you, just I have to prioritise personal work and life and recently this has taken up a lot of my free time.
