- Yea me, the novitiate programmer again.
- OK, i know the blitter will draw lines, but i wanted to try my hand at
- writing a straight lin edrawer myself. And now i want to compare with
- folks here. Keep in mind i've never had any teaching or theory in this,
- and i've got a routine which requires 2 divides at the beginning of each
- line, and from then on is simple adds and checks. (about 2 to 5 per pixel,
- excluding actually drawing the pixel in ram) How does this measure up?
- Should i think some more ? ( Of course i should! )
- Also like the blitter it will want ot know what octant the line is in..
