mates,

when you want to perform division of numbers in Blitz3D (2D commands only) is MOD the only option???

yep, sorry. I thought Blitz had a dedicated division command of some kind.

'Mod' isn't exactly a division as such, it's the Modulus, or more specificly the 'left over' bits of an Integer Division. A clever word for the '%' operator used in other languages.

if you want a faster alternative to MOD replace it with AND, but this won't work for floating point int's.

And above all it works only if you mod the value with an integer that is a power of 2 (like x Mod 8 = x And 7)
