NeHe Lesson 05: 3D Shapes

The last lesson of the very basics is here. This lesson doesn't bring anything new to the table, but shows you how to combine triangles and quads into pyramids and cubes.
Go read the lesson here first.

I'll put the changed drawing code here for your enjoyment.

/**
* The drawing function. Here we will draw the pyramid and cube.
