Is FBs 'MOD' different than '%' in C aka Sierpinski Carpet in FB

[neriakX]

Hi guys,

as I'm trying to learn FreeBasic I thought I'd port some examples of http://lodev.org to FreeBasic.
I already made some progress (having fun with plasmas) but this one is hurting my braincells. -> http://lodev.org/cgtutor/sierpinski.html

The first code example on the website does not work in FreeBasic, it looks completely different, so I went for the 2nd method. The result looks a lot better but it's still not the same. I'm not getting rectangles but some kind of triangles. Can you help me find the culprit please? I suspect Modulo being different to '%' in C.

I guess I have used some code snippets from Shockwave, Clyde and other guys to code this thing. So don't be surprised if you find some code similar to your own. (Everyone has to start somewhere =) ). Thanks for your great selection of source codes on the forums!


Ok, here's my code:

Should work the same.
Try setting xres=800, yres =600.

Try setting xres=800, yres =600.

Hi and thanks for your reply, Jim. Unfortunately changing the resoultion does not help :-/

I see, in FreeBasic

5 / 2 equals 2.5

in C

5 / 2 equals  2

You need to use \ in FreeBasic for integer division

5 \ 2 equals  2

Woot Jim! Your mojo is very powerful! hehe. It works like a charm now! Thank you so much .. now I can solve some other (same) riddles in my codes. awesome! karma+

Here is the updated and finally working Sierpinski Carpet in FB!
