I use SFML to create a window.
In this screenshot, the cube should be behind the pyramid, but it just doesn't work.

Here is the minimal code I used:
#include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#include <OpenGL/glu.h>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include "ResourcePath.hpp"
void resize();
void drawScene();
void initGL();
float rtri = 0;
float rquad = 0;
float z = -10.0f;
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
sf::RenderWindow *window = new sf::RenderWindow();
window->Create( sf::VideoMode( 800, 600, 32 ), "Collision Detection", sf::Style::Close );
sf::Event event;
bool run = true;
initGL();
resize();
while( run ) {
window->PollEvent( event );
if( event.Type == sf::Event::Closed ) {
run = false;
}
drawScene();
window->Display();
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
void resize() {
glViewport(0,0, 800,600);
glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
glLoadIdentity();
gluPerspective(45.0f,800/600,0.1f,100.0f);
glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
glLoadIdentity();
}
void drawScene() {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,-6.0f);
glRotatef(rtri,0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);
glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);

glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f( 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f,-1.0f);
glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f, 1.0f);
glEnd();
glLoadIdentity();
glTranslatef(0.0f,0.0f,z);
glRotatef(rquad,1.0f,1.0f,z);
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glColor3f(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f,-1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f,-1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
glColor3f(1.0f,0.5f,0.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f, 1.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f,-1.0f);
glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f,-1.0f);
glColor3f(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f);

glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f,-1.0f);
glEnd();
rtri+=0.2f;
rquad-=0.15f;
z-=0.01;
}
void initGL() {
glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH);
glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.5f);
glClearDepth(1.0f);
glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDepthFunc(GL_LEQUAL);
glHint(GL_PERSPECTIVE_CORRECTION_HINT, GL_NICEST);
glEnable( GL_CULL_FACE );
glTranslatef(0, 0, -5);
}
I tried different depth functions, GL_LESS, GL_EQUAL, I tried all of them. In addition, enabling and disabling depth testing in different places does not work.
I am running Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), not sure if this is important, although before the upgrade I had no problems with such things.
