Yeah, I just had to defend myself so that I didn't look like a total dumbass.
You're absolutely right. XD

And they're also usually a
lot slower to draw. (IE, individual pixels vs a simple draw-this-line cmd.)

I thought that line commands have to draw pixels themselves?

Yes, but in general they're optimized (via assembly). IE, an SDL or OpenGL draw-line function is faster than you saying, "draw pixel here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here...."

I made a fractal nearly identical to that in quick basic back when I used that gayness...
The reason I was making a fractal in the first place was to deal with lines.
I wanted to to be like, take the first lines's top and bottom x and y, subtract them, divide them by 2, and soon, to make a smaller triangle. Then keep going using the newly generated lines and their top and bottom points.
Anyway, I got it, using my way and lines, to make the first triangle, and using all the lines and a bit of marauder's help, make the second one inside it. Then after a while of thinking about using 3 as a magical number to make the next three triangles and complete the loop, I decided I was getting off track and to continue on my soace game.
