Hi, Without seeing the full program, I'm just guessing, but here are some possible issues: matrixMode $= Modelview 1
loadIdentity
I think that should be Modelview 0. Also, do you have the same in the
display callback?
You should reset it each time you draw a frame, and then set the correct
translation
depending on the time.
Similarly, though not required, I recommend to set the projection matrix in
each frame
(in the display callback); the reshape callback should just store the screen
size in a global variable
(some people would say global variables in Haskell are a heresy, but I
disagree :)
Also, the 1200 / 0.01 far/near ratio is very large; because of how the depth
buffer works, you
want this ratio as small as possible given your application. See e.g.
http://www.opengl.org/resources/faq/technical/depthbuffer.htm
for details.

I am taking a graphics class and I have a problem I have not been able to resolve. When I translate along the Z axis objects are clipped before their size changes. It almost seems likes its stuck using a ortho prjojection some how. That being said the clip plan is very close and to me does not resemble the one I set in gluPerspective. It starts to clip after being translated -0.6 units down the z axis.
Attached is the code that I use to setup the projection matrix.
