From QB64 Wiki
Don't understand the logic of your MOD statement. Perhaps that would be better used in an example instead of the description?
Also the QB64 _WIDTH function returns the width of an image. See _WIDTH (QB64). The underscore is not used as it is a Qbasic statement to define the SCREEN width. The WIKI ignores underscores, but it should be removed anyhow.
<stylin> yeah, the algorithm isn't very intuitive, and I'm not sure the best way to describe it either, so perhaps an example would be the best way. "wraps-around" isn't exactly right. But, if you have a screen width of say 8 columns, then the parameter would be interpreted like this:
original value | interpreted value |
---|---|
1 | 1 |
2 | 2 |
3 | 3 |
4 | 4 |
5 | 5 |
6 | 6 |
7 | 7 |
8 | 8 |
9 | 1 |
10 | 2 |
11 | 3 |
12 | 4 |
13 | 5 |
14 | 6 |
15 | 7 |
16 | 8 |
17 | 1 |
and so on |
