I'm following a tutorial on creating a Game Engine in Java using OpenGL.
I'm trying to render a triangle on the screen. Everything is running fine and I can change the background color but the triangle won't show. I've also tried running the code provided as part of the tutorial series and it still doesn't work.

Setup
- I've tried checking for OpenGL version and belive I have 2.1.
- Mac OSX
- Java - Eclipse
Mesh.java
import static org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.*;
import static org.lwjgl.opengl.GL15.*;
import static org.lwjgl.opengl.GL20.*;
public class Mesh
{
private int vbo; //pointer to the buffer
private int size; //size of the data to buffer
public Mesh ()
{
vbo = glGenBuffers();
size = 0;
}
public void addVertices (Vertex[] vertices)
{
size = vertices.length;
//add the data by first binding the buffer
glBindBuffer (GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo); //vbo is now the buffer
//and then buffering the data
glBufferData (GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, Util.createFlippedBuffer(vertices), GL_STATIC_DRAW);
}
public void draw ()
{
glEnableVertexAttribArray (0); //divide up the data into a segment
glBindBuffer (GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vbo); //vbo is now the buffer
//tell OpenGL more about the segment:
//segment = 0, elements = 3, type = float, normalize? = false, vertex size, where to start = 0)
glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, false, Vertex.SIZE * 4, 0);
//draw GL_TRIANGLES starting from '0' with a given 'size'
glDrawArrays (GL_TRIANGLES, 0, size);
glDisableVertexAttribArray (0);
}
}
RenderUtil.java
import static org.lwjgl.opengl.GL11.*;
import static org.lwjgl.opengl.GL30.*;
public class RenderUtil
{
public static void clearScreen ()
{
//TODO: Stencil Buffer

}
//set everything to engine defaults

glEnable (GL_CULL_FACE); // don't draw back faces
glEnable (GL_DEPTH_TEST); // determines draw order by pixel depth testing
//TODO: Depth clamp for later
glEnable (GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB); // do exponential correction on gamma so we don't have to
}
}
Util.java
import java.nio.FloatBuffer;
import org.lwjgl.BufferUtils;
public class Util
{
//create a float buffer (we need this because java is weird)
public static FloatBuffer createFloatBuffer (int size)
{

}
//flip the buffer to fit what OpenGL expects
public static FloatBuffer createFlippedBuffer (Vertex[] vertices)
{
FloatBuffer buffer = createFloatBuffer(vertices.length * Vertex.SIZE);
for (int i = 0; i < vertices.length; i++)
{
buffer.put(vertices[i].getPos().getX());
buffer.put(vertices[i].getPos().getY());
buffer.put(vertices[i].getPos().getZ());
}
buffer.flip();
return buffer;
}
