Hello, this is my first post to this forum so please bear with me. When I run the following code, the first “frame” is exactly what I want, but as the ‘animation’ proceeds the quad does not maintain it’s proper color. Instead it becomes black. Any insight into my problem would be much appreciated.
For completeness, the entire program is listed (I hope).
