I did do this.

Maybe it's the version number.  The last stable version in portage is 3.0.1-r2.

Wow...it'd be really nice if I had a screenshot to back this up.

EDIT: Link added.

Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but I kind of wanted to give an update on eclipse.

This time last year I swore by Eclipse - there was nothing better, but here recently I've been using Netbeans.  Why?  The editor in eclipse doesn't support generic types, and won't even let the compiler have at the code!!!

After using vim and bash for a while, I finally dedicated myself to finding and using a different IDE and Netbeans is, hands down, the best IDE on the market at this point.  It has an eclipse-ish l&f, isn't bitchy about a 'workspace' location, has a stable, built-in gui editor, supports generic types(<sarcasm>don't know why i should have expected that!</sarcasm>), and has plugins for just about everything - including a noted profiler (appeared in Dr. Dobbs issue #381), and is FREE!!!

I strongly encourage all you eclipse junkies to head out and try Netbeans!

Very impressive!

I did notice a bug where the character got stuck and the certain portions of the screen weren't refreshing, but I couldn't duplicate it.

And it would bounce between 3 and 96 fps.

And the second time I ran it, it gave me an empty error window and wouldn't start up....

Well, if nothing works you can always do Wu's algorithm.

There's a link to one of Micheal Abrash's articles on that page that explains it exquisitly.

This is, of course, all in jest.  But it's kind of fun if you enjoy doing that kind of stuff.

I can sympathize.  Swing is riddled with inconsistincies and 'gotchas'.  Hopefully Mustang will fix all of this.

Think of your GLCanvas as a cube.  If you use eye coordinates, it will always stretch from -1.0 to 1.0 in every direction you can think of.  Therefore, anything drawn outside of that area will be clipped off of the viewspace.

But wait!  Don't the NeHe tutorials translate the eye over to -1.5, and then to 1.5!?  Yup.

So what's missing?

In a word, glOrtho() is missing.  What this function effectively does is widen the cube in which you can draw.

In short, you're drawing outside the box.  glOrtho will make the box larger.
