Increasing/Decreasing Variable

[Webdawg66]

Ok so I made a class. The class contains code to draw a 3d car. I'm supposed to make it so there are cars going in both directions on a street. I called the cars so they're in their starting positions. I also made it so they all move. The problem I'm facing now is calling more cars over and over so it looks like it won't ever stop.

My professor said, "The cars are all
controlled by global variable incrementing/decrementing."

Right now after the 8 cars I called for both directions move, after the last car is nothing. Anyone have an idea how to do this?

[rmxhaha]

It's a very vague description ...

I usually change the coordinate of the car directly so after they disappear at the end of the right screen, I change the position to just before they appear on the left screen..

I usually do this b/c it's just for show, does it really have to be a different car everytime ? If so destroy the car that have disappear at the end the screen and make a new one...

I know my answer is not really helping ,
Perhaps show more of your code ?

Yeah sorry, I was on my way to work. Didn't have my main.cpp. I'll post the important parts after I get home. But yeah that's what I feel too. I wish he would have told me a little more. His answers have been becoming vague.

Ok this is what my main.cpp looks like. As you can see I have 9 cars that go left and 9 cars that go right. Then after they are finished going across the screen theres just empty space. I need it so that they just keep coming across the screen and don't stop.
