Algorithm
Step 1: Start
Step 2: Render the cube using the array of vertices.
Step 3: Obtain the co-ordinates of the cube with the origin at the center of the cube.
Step 4: Draw the 6 faces of the cube using three points.
Step 5: Increment the angle w.r.t current axis by specified value.
Step 6: Display the cube on the screen and rotate by the current value of angle around current axis.
Step 7: Repeat step 4 and 5 until mouse event occurs.
Step 8: Stop
