I'm writing the line algorithm as described in this article:
http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article767.asp

The line only seems to work from within a 45 degree range rather than from any angle. Just can't see why.

Hey,
Not too sure here, but my guess that it has something to do with the d's = 2*deltay. That would mean a gradient of 1/2 (where m = deltax/deltay for a standard linear line) which would always give a 45 degree line. As to how to fix I've got no idea, sorry.


Cheers,
Merk

Thx, it did work. But I found the other way through various sources. Just seems better to me than multiplying by 100000.
