Hi all I'm trying to do texture mapping using Modern OpenGL and GLSL 150.

The problem is the texture shows but has this weird flicker I can show a video here

and I have everything setup best I can

have my texcords in my vertex array sent up to opengl

I have my fragment color set to the texture values and texel values I have my vertex sending the textures cords to texture cordinates to be used in the fragment shader I have my ins and outs setup and I still don't know what I'm missing that could be causing that flicker.

here is my code

FRAGMENT SHADER

#version 150

   uniform sampler2D texture;     
   in vec2 texture_coord;

 varying vec3 texture_coordinate;      
    void main(void){


  gl_FragColor = texture(texture, texture_coord);

  }

VERTEX SHADER

#version 150


in vec4 position;


out vec2 texture_coordinate; 

out vec2 texture_coord;

uniform vec3 translations;

void main() {

texture_coord = (texture_coordinate);

gl_Position = vec4(position.xyz + translations.xyz, 1.0);  

}

Last bit

here is my vertex array with texture cordinates

GLfloat vVerts[] = {

0.5f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f ,

0.0f, 0.5f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f,

0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f,

0.5f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f}; //tex x and y
