Need help for program...

I have kind of a dilema here…

For a class, I need to write an interactive program (using OpenGL obviously), where you create a person (with simple shapes) walking through a forrest, with a light source, and a bird flying overhead.

I took this class last semester, and since I was sick a lot, I didn’t get much information from the class. Right now I have an incomplete, and need to complete this programming assignment to complete the course. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Katy
