Moving Around

Ok, so ive got my room looking alrite. Here is the code:

public void render() { 

       		gl.glClear(GL11.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL11.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);          // Clear The Screen And The Depth Buffer 

		gl.glLoadIdentity();

		gl.glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

		gl.glRotatef(rtri,0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);

		//Build Room

		gl.glBegin(gl.GL_QUADS);

			gl.glNormal3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);


			gl.glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);

			gl.glVertex3f(-2.0f, 2.0f, -8.0f); //Draw Back Wall - Top Left	
			gl.glVertex3f( 2.0f, 2.0f, -8.0f); //Draw Back Wall - Top Right	
			gl.glVertex3f( 2.0f, -2.0f, -8.0f); //Draw Back Wall - Bottom Right
			gl.glVertex3f(-2.0f, -2.0f, -8.0f); //Draw Back Wall - Bottom Left



		gl.glEnd();


		gl.glBegin(gl.GL_QUADS);
			gl.glNormal3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);


			gl.glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);

			gl.glVertex3f( -2.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Left Wall - Top Left	
			gl.glVertex3f( -2.0f, 2.0f,-8.0f); //Draw Left Wall - Top Right	

			gl.glVertex3f( -2.0f, -2.0f,-8.0f); //Draw Left Wall - Bottom Right
			gl.glVertex3f( -2.0f, -2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Left Wall - Bottom Left



		gl.glEnd();


		gl.glBegin(gl.GL_QUADS);


			gl.glNormal3f(-1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

			gl.glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f);
		
			gl.glVertex3f( 2.0f, 2.0f,-8.0f); //Draw Right Wall - Top Left	
			gl.glVertex3f( 2.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Right Wall - Top Right	

			gl.glVertex3f( 2.0f, -2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Right Wall - Bottom Right
			gl.glVertex3f( 2.0f, -2.0f,-8.0f); //Draw Right Wall - Bottom Left



		gl.glEnd();

		gl.glBegin(gl.GL_QUADS);


			gl.glNormal3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);

			gl.glColor3f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f);

			gl.glVertex3f( -2.0f,-2.0f,-8.0f); //Draw Floor - Top Left	
			gl.glVertex3f(  2.0f,-2.0f,-8.0f); //Draw Floor - Top Right	
			gl.glVertex3f(  2.0f,-2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Floor - Bottom Right
			gl.glVertex3f( -2.0f,-2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Floor - Bottom Left




		gl.glEnd();


		gl.glBegin(gl.GL_QUADS);


			gl.glNormal3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f);


			gl.glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,1.0f);

			gl.glVertex3f(-2.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Front Wall - Top Left	
			gl.glVertex3f( 2.0f, 2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Front Wall - Top Right	
			gl.glVertex3f( 2.0f, -2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Front Wall - Bottom Right
			gl.glVertex3f(-2.0f, -2.0f, 2.0f); //Draw Front Wall - Bottom Left


		gl.glEnd();

			
		rtri += .06;




		
   	}

So i start at the origin (gl.glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f) drawing the back wall -8 on the z-axis, left and right walls from 2 to -8 on the z-axis and the front wall (behind where u face at the start) on the z-axis at 2.

My question is, how can i make it appear as if my player is moving towards the back wall? Ive played around with translate but no real luck, what exactly does translate do?

Any help would be great

Thanks,

Cheers, Nick

What you need to do is have the following:

1. A loop that renders this over and over again (think a while !done loop)
2. A way to increase the GL11.glTranslatef() values over time. Think another loop.
