So i'm making a game(something similar to a pong)using openGl in cpp , and when i try running the program , the image rendering is too slow ,i feel something is taking a huge toll on my GPU memory , (So far i have competed the drawing and movement of the paddle which works fine and the problem arises when the ball is set to motion on the press of a button , Everything slows down after this ) Here i have attached a portion of my code Point out any deficiencies in my code

stdlib.h -> cstdlib) headers.display() instead of a reshape callback, helps prevent annoying matrix stack issues.Sleep(), use a timer/idle callback to glutPostRedisplay(). Bonus points for framerate-independent movement (you can use glutGet(GLUT_ELAPSED_TIME) to calculate delta-t).Sleep() there's no reason to drag windows.h into things.All together:
