Is mode 7 possible?

Nope because CC has displacement (modifying the vertices of a quad / sprite), whereas C2 doesn't :/

I DID actually come up across this a couple of hours ago and I was very happy that someone posted this :)

I may take a crack it at as well when I have time since I plan to use mode 7 in one of my future games

Yeah, in my mind it seems a simple enough task, but I know when I start that new capx ready to get at it, I'll probably crumble ;)

This may interest you

What i give for a mode 7 effect.... Blarg.

Procrastinator, I'd very much like to see how you would make a psuedo 3d engine. I wish you luck

Well, my pseudo 3D "engine" is nothing more than creating objects with a zPos, and scaling accordingly. I'm using the most basic 1/zPos formula to scale. 1 can be replaced by how big a sprite should be when zPos = 0.

Simple but effective ;)

Mind sharing the capx test? <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I would love to make something similar to create a street fighter floor

If you slice an image into horizontal slices you can position and scale each slice independently allowing for shear and taper effects. The drawback is a high object count.

Jesus Rojo, how do you come up with the algorithm for these things so quickly? Also I'm curious to know how you were able to cut your image into 64 pieces. Did you use some kind of program or did you individually cut the image into that many pieces using paint,gimp, photoshop or some kind of paint tool?

Procastinator...I may be wrong, but wouldn't the sinewave behavior be perfect for something like this? i mean if it scales and moves slower as the distance goes farther back, that's probably something that'd be perfect for the sinewave

retrodude I did something similar before but with vertical slices. I sliced the image in construct by using the "import sprite strip" function in the image editor.

I found a good explanation on the math used for mode7 here:

Here's a capx of it in action:

Wow AMAZING STUFF!!! <img src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" align="middle"> I was already in awe of your vertical slicing method and was looking through that but it seems this example is more faster with rendering. Its good to know that its possible in C2   <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle">

now if only we could get the fps count to 20-30 it would have been perfect, unless my laptops the only one that's giving performance speeds of 8-10 fps. I'll be looking over the explanation on the math later this week because this looks awesome, thanks for posting Rojo

Rojo's latest example never drops below 30fps for me.

Did you make that? That looks pretty amazing and its also written in java <img src="smileys/smiley3.gif" border="0" align="middle">. I was also looking through the source code hoping for comments, but unfortunately the author didn't provide the comments or give an explanation behind the pseudo code for a project such as this but its still something I'll definetly look into as well, thanks for posting   <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle">
