I made an array called matrix composed of 2 dimension, res_x (resolution of x) and res_y. I want to plot a pixel on the screen but not if it already exists so if, let's say that matrix[78][204] = 1, it means that at 78,204 there's a pixel. If it were 0, there wouldn't be. Here's my code part that does just that: It freezes my computer. #define RGB makecol15 ushort run_program() { ushort pix_x; ushort pix_y; ushort color_red; unsigned int matrix[res_x][res_y]; for (unsigned int i = 0; i < (res_x * res_y); i++) { if (keypressed()) break; pix_x = (random() % res_x) + 1; pix_y = (random() % res_y) + 1; if (matrix[pix_x][pix_y] == 1) continue; else matrix[pix_x][pix_y] = 1; color_red = (random() % 255) + 1; putpixel(screen, pix_x, pix_y, RGB (color_red, 0, 0)); } return 1; } Please help.
