Well just for clarification, Modulus is a type of division that gives you the remainder, not the answer. It is useful because if I have an increasing value 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9... and I take a Modulus # of it, the result will be a looping value up to that number.
For instance, A % 4, (% is the Modulus operation) where A is increasing by 1 each iteration would yield:
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3
So if I took the Modulus of the X coordinate, I could use it to yield a positively increasing loop while moving to the right (0,1,2,3,0,1,2,3...) and a negatively increasing loop while moving to the left (3,2,1,0,3,2,1,0...) and when standing still the sprite would not change at all. The benefit to this method is that you don't have to do any monitoring of the keys, as everything is entirely dependent on only the x coordinate. (Monitoring the keys can be difficult when using xLibs real(8 ) because of the multiple key commands
)

(the speak english thing is often a grammar nazi sentence implying the other poster's grammar/spelling sucks, which is probably why someone thumbed down the comment
)
(Btw I didn't knew what modulus was either until Builderboy last post. (I have the same issue with half of the math words stated anywhere not in french). Over here I am used to "modulo".)

I think "modulo" is actually the correct term.

Hmm, i just did some research, and Modulo is the opperation, and Modulus is the maximum nomber or something? Oops! I always heard my comp-sci teacher call it that way, but I guess he was wrong.

Two numbers are said to be congruent
modulo n
when their remainder upon division by n is the same (e.g. 7 is congruent to 3 modulo 4). The modulus is n. When you perform "a % n" and get "c", this is saying "a is congruent to c, with a modulus of n". The word "modulo" translated from Latin literally means "with modulus".

Hehe my science teacher in seventh grade always pronounced nuclear nukular and nucleus Neuculus. She even spelled it that way!
This game looks like it will be really cool.

Btw you might want to be careful when replying to topics, to check the last post date before posting (The board will give you a warning if the topic has been over 180 days old anyway), since necroposting (reviving threads that are several months old) is generally not appreciated on web forums.
I think this project is kinda dead, unfortunately
