Hi there,

I have got a problem with Blitz3D. If you try the following small program:

Open in online IDE

Graphics3D 640,480
SetBuffer BackBuffer()
camera=CreateCamera()
cube=CreateCube()
While not KeyDown(1)
ms% = MilliSecs()
PositionEntity cube,0,0,5.0+Sin(0.01*Float(ms))
RenderWorld
Flip
Wend
End

You will see a cube waving on Z axis on a sinus move.

But the move is not smooth, it seems to move step by step.

I don't understand why.

Where is the error in my code? What did I do wrong?

It seems Blitz uses integer instead of float somewhere but I cannot understand where is my error..

thanks for any help
