Hello FirstPerson
First of all, Im not an openGL expert but Im trying to write a code of a movng object and Im facing some problems. So i need your help please
here is the code

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <windows.h>
#include <gl/Gl.h>
#include <gl/Glu.h>
#include <gl/glut.h>

double r=600/4,delta=1/r;
float xc=0,yc=0,a=40,k=5,phy=0,z=0.3,d=0.1;

void drawcircle(double x0,double y0,double r)
{
	double x,y;
	double th=0;
	while(th<=80*atan(1.0))
	{
		th=th+delta;
		x=r*cos(th)+x0;
		y=r*sin(th)+y0;
		glColor3f(0.0,0,0);
		glPointSize(4);
		glBegin(GL_POINTS);
		glVertex2d(x,y);
		glEnd();
	}
}

void handleResize(int w,int h)
{
	glViewport(0, 0, w, h);
	glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
	glLoadIdentity();
	gluPerspective(45.0,(double)w/(double)h,1.0,200.0);
}
float angle = 30.0f;
void myStyleInit(int red,int green,int blue)
{
	glClearColor(red,green,blue,0.0);
	glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
	glLoadIdentity();
    glPointSize(3);
	gluOrtho2D(-150.0, 150.0,-150.0,150.0);
}


void drawScene()
{
	glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
	glColor3f(1.0,0,0);
	glPointSize(3);
	drawcircle(800/2,600/2,r);
               drawcircle(800/2,600/2,(3*r)/4);
               drawcircle(800/2,600/2,r/2);
               drawcircle(800/2,600/2,r/4);
               drawcircle(800/2,600/2,r/8);
	glFlush();
	glutSwapBuffers();

}

void move(int state)
{
	if(xc>=150-a  || xc<=-150+a)
	{
		z*=-1;
		xc+=z;
		yc+=d;
		phy+=0.01;
	}
	if(yc>=150-a || yc<=-150+a)
	{
		d*=-1;
		xc+=z;
		yc+=d;
		phy+=0.01;
	}
	else
	{
		xc+=z;
		yc+=d;
		phy+=0.01;
	}
	glutPostRedisplay();
	glutTimerFunc(1,move,0);
}
int main()
{
	int mainWindow;
	glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_RGBA);
	glutInitWindowPosition(300,200);
	glutInitWindowSize(900,900);
	mainWindow = glutCreateWindow("Stress Ball");
	myStyleInit(1,1,1);
	glutDisplayFunc(drawScene);
	glutTimerFunc(1,move,0);
	glutMainLoop();
}

the problem is that the circles are not moving, I've tried the glutReDisplay() nut its not working
what should I do?

I just ran your code on my machine. I did not see any circles but instead i saw only the white screen. So, you make sure about the problem you are having.

>> Hello FirstPerson
Good morning to you to,em-kay.

Now just a few points.

1) Don't use global variables like that.
2) If you don't have a choice then at least, name your variables something meaningful,so I can understand what they are.

3) To move your circle you can do 2 things :
3.a) You can use the translation matrix to move the circles.
3.b) You can vary the x0 and y0 of each circle.

Last but not least, i'm not sure if your drawCircle is correct. You can use
something like this :

void drawCircle(double x0,double y0,double r){
	const float PI = 3.1515f;
	const float DEGTORAD = PI/180.0f;

	glBegin(GL_LINE_LOOP);
	for(int i = 0; i < 360; ++i){
		float posX = std::cos(i*DEGTORAD) * r + x0;
		float posY = std::sin(i*DEGTORAD) * r + y0;
		glVertex3f( posX, posY , 0.0f );
	}
	glEnd();
}

and don't use stuff like atan(1.0) instead of pi. Just use PI. Its more clear,
and no calculation is needed.

FirstPerson, thanks alot for the correction. I really appreciate it
