Boucing Ball on key press

I have to develop a small application in which a ball moves from left to right.

  1. The application should run only for 3 minutes.And the speed of the ball should be increased with every minute.
  2. On key press like up button the ball should jump
    I learnt that for time glutTimer function has to be used and for keypress jump i have to use keypressed event and just have to play with coordinates of ball.
    But i don’t know how to write the code for above 2 things?

Here is the following code which i have written:

#include <GL/glut.h>
#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <GL/glu.h>

#define ESCAPE 27

int window;
static int flag=1;

float rtri = 0.10f;
void InitGL(int Width, int Height)
{

glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glClearDepth(1.0);
glDepthFunc(GL_LESS);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH);

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();

gluPerspective(45.0f,(GLfloat)Width/(GLfloat)Height,0.1f,100.0f);

glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
}

void ReSizeGLScene(int Width, int Height)
{
if (Height==0)
Height=1;

glViewport(0, 0, Width, Height);

glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();

gluPerspective(45.0f,(GLfloat)Width/(GLfloat)Height,0.1f,100.0f);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
}

float ballX = -0.8f;
float ballY = -0.3f;
float ballZ = -1.2f;

void drawBall(void) {

    glColor3f(0.0, 1.0, 0.0); 
    glTranslatef(ballX,ballY,ballZ); 
    glutSolidSphere (0.3, 20, 20); 
    glTranslatef(ballX+1.5,ballY,ballZ); 
    } 

void DrawGLScene()
{
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();

glTranslatef(rtri,0.0f,-6.0f);
drawBall();
rtri+=0.01f;
if(rtri>3)
rtri=-3.0f;
glutSwapBuffers();
}

void keyPressed(unsigned char key, int x, int y)
{

}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_RGBA | GLUT_DOUBLE | GLUT_ALPHA | GLUT_DEPTH);
glutInitWindowSize(640, 480);
glutInitWindowPosition(0, 0);
window = glutCreateWindow(“Ball Game”);
glutDisplayFunc(&DrawGLScene);
glutIdleFunc(&DrawGLScene);
glutReshapeFunc(&ReSizeGLScene);
glutKeyboardFunc(&keyPressed);
InitGL(640, 480);
// glutTimerFunc(25, update, 0);
glutMainLoop();

return 1;
}

That’s a big ask. Couple of things. It’s not recommended to use your display function as your idle function. What happens when U run the code U posted? As an intermediate step I’d forget the animation part of the assignment. Try to simply move the ball in response to pushing a key on the keyboard. Once you have that working you can move on to idle functions and animation.

Good luck.
