Helllo…

I was checking this out:

http://www.zeuscmd.com/tutorials/glut/03-MouseInput.php

, and they start their mouseHandling-chapter
telling me to use this code

bool lbuttonDown = false;

bool init()
{
	return true;
}

void display()
{

}

And I think it just doesn’t make any sense:
Why should “display” be empty?
Why is this init thing return true always?

The answer is in the previous tutorials.

init returns a bool to indicate whether the init function succeeded or not, and an empty init function obviously can’t fail, so it returns true.

display is empty because nothing needs to be displayed.

Thanks…

Now I’m trying to make the program to react to a click on the right mousebutton. But nothing happens…Why?
