Michael's code *is* Bresenham's Line algorithm.

I think i need to sleep now. I am not processing this well.

or if you know the angle the tank is shooting at, use sin(angle) as your y increment and cos(angle) as your x increment.

Wouldn't that get you a fraction?
Or does it round well?

sin and cos return -127 through 128 (or something like that)

You shouldn't need any complex line algorithm. Try this, it should animate the sprite "Pic1" moving from (X,Y) to (A,B) in S steps.

Code: [Select]

:A-X*256//S->C
:B-Y*256//S->D
:For(L,0,S)
:ClrDraw
:Pt-On(C*L//256+X,D*L//256+Y,Pic1)
:DispGraph
:Pause 50
:End

EDIT: Fixed, I forgot the divisions had to be signed.

I appreciate this so much.
I would have spent many frustrated hours trying to figure all this out

No, not on Omnimaga.

Here's an easy solution:
Draw the line on the backbuffer. Then, use a loop with pixel testing on the back buffer to determine where to draw the sprite next.

I am not allowed to express disgust at my own stupidity on Omnimaga? Oh.

@SirCmpwn and Quigbo: Those are awesome solutions! I never would have thought of them.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #27 on:** January 13, 2011, 02:01:32 am »

Oh, it was because it was pretty hard to detect if the facepalm was directed at yourself or happybobjr. In the first case it might be fine, although in your case it was not clear because Facepalm is all that your post contained, so it's subject to misinterpretation from other people, who might think it's directed at Happybobjr (and see it as out of line)

Huh. I didn't even know that you could direct facepalm at others. Well, lesson learned -- one-liners are subject to misinterpretation.

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #29 on:** January 13, 2011, 02:17:02 am »

Yeah it's possible. If someone asks a question to gain help and you reply "*facepalm*", it generally implies you find the person stupid. Someone here did that once, although the thing is that someone might use Facepalm towards someone but not necessarily mean to be offensive. Since it can be, however, this is why I personally avoid using it or append something after it implying it was directed at me. Text can be confusing when it comes to transmitting emotions sometimes.
