is there a way to stop glutMainLoop() ?

i need to make a function where i draw
some polygons in a window and then
according to what i get in the window i
return true/false.

the problem is after i call glutMainLoop()
it doesn't return to the function
anymore...

If GLUT does not give you what you want, then don't use GLUT. Use something else, like GLFW (http://hem.passagen.se/opengl/glfw/) .

Yes that is correct, you setup your functions befor glutmain to call from inside it.

You setup a call back, like glutTimerfunc or glutidlefunc, glutmousefunc, etc.

When that routine is called then use these routines check for a state change.

I have some glut tutors on my website and some links to other glut websites
