Your character must be composed of at least 8 GLUT primitives, but you are free to use more. You are to describe in the comments of your code what the character is supposed to represent and what type of animation you hope to use it in for an upcoming project. You must submit only the C++ file from your (working) program, plus any header files if you happen to be using them. If you dont know what a header file is, then chances are you arent using one.
