I'm attempting to move the camera via gluLookAt in my OpenGL app similar to how the camera moves in a FPS game. It works, however, I would like to center the mouse after moving it, to disallow the mouse from ever reaching the edge of the screen. After doing some research, I found glutWarpPointer is a viable option, however, I get the sense that professional game developers only utilize the basic OpenGL commands, instead of something like glutWarpPointer, or glutSolidCube, or glutSolidSphere. Am I correct in assuming this?
In my WndProc function, I set the look for my gluLookAt under the WM_MOUSEMOVE message in my switch block. I also realize that SendInput would achieve what I want, but from my understanding SendInput would trigger another WM_MOUSEMOVE when the cursor goes to the middle of the screen, essentially reversing my original movement of the mouse, and not moving the camera's look at all.
Any ideas?
Edit: I don't think there exists a function that does not call a WM_MOUSEMOVE message. I think the proper route is to create a flag that determines whether the WM_MOUSEMOVE was invoked by a SetCursorPos, and if it was, do not change the camera's look.
