We declare and initialize some variables to simplify the initialization of the model space coordinates, and then we go ahead and initialize a float array with three vertices that represent the triangle that is our ship. Note that the values are based around a center of x = 0 and y = 0.
All we do next is, call setVertices(), and GameObject will prepare the ByteBuffer ready for OpenGL:
