Rotating Teapot using DirectX and C++ - College 4/2011

We had to create this during our intro to 3D Programming course while in college, this is a snippet of the code, featuring the one of the loops that I used to get everything going.

    while( msg.message!=WM_QUIT )
    {
    // check for messages
		if( PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0U, 0U, PM_REMOVE ) )
        {
            TranslateMessage( &msg );
            DispatchMessage( &msg );
        }
		// this is called when no messages are pending
		else
		{
			// call our render function
			pd3dDevice->Clear( 0, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET | D3DCLEAR_ZBUFFER, D3DCOLOR_XRGB(255,255,255), 1.0f, 0 );

			pd3dDevice->BeginScene();

			D3DXMATRIX meshMat, meshScale, meshRotate;

			// create the camera
			createCamera(1.0f, 750.0f);		// near clip plane, far clip plane
			moveCamera(D3DXVECTOR3(0.0f, 0.0f, -5.0f));
			pointCamera(D3DXVECTOR3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));

			// set the rotation
			D3DXMatrixRotationY(&meshRotate, timeGetTime()/1000.0f);
			// set the scaling
			D3DXMatrixScaling(&meshScale, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
			// multiple the scaling and rotation matrices to create the meshMat matrix
			D3DXMatrixMultiply(&meshMat, &meshScale, &meshRotate);

			// transform the object in world space
			pd3dDevice->SetTransform(D3DTS_WORLD, &meshMat);

			// set the material to use
			pd3dDevice->SetMaterial(&mtrl);

			// draw the teapot mesh
			teapotMesh->DrawSubset(0);
					
			pd3dDevice->EndScene();

			pd3dDevice->Present( NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL );	
		}
	}

	// shutdown the directx manager
	shutdown();
