hope it works

Seriously, if this works the way I think it should, the engine could turn into the equivalent of a variable-height raycaster with floor textures, with even more flexibility.

[DJ Omnimaga]

for a racing game I think constant height would do fine, but it would be cool if there was a variable wall height fps or something. Mode 7 + raycasting would be cool though since the mode 7 would do the floor textures and raycasting wall textures

[metagross111]

give at least a little bit of height instead of a tile though. in the first mariokart, i could never see those in the distance... X[

it'll be harder to see on a ti, thats for sure.

[TIfanx1999]

More options would be nice, but for something like this i think speed should be a priority above all else.

[metagross111]

well, duh >_>

its F-Zero

[calc84maniac]

Eh, I wasn't really planning on using the walls in F-Zero, I just wanted to do it 'cause it'd be cool...

Oh, by the way, I've been thinking about a faster way to do the Mode 7 rendering, and I think I'll be able to shave off about 100 clock cycles per pair of pixels... that's about 150,000 clock cycles per frame! Though, I'll have to add a bit of overhead onto that to do some extra calculation outside of the pixel loop... but I think it'll be worth it.

[metagross111]

that is a handful of clock cycles 0_o

Mario Kart 64 83+ ^.^

j/k I'M asking a bit too much now

[metagross111]

maybe just regular Mario Kart 83+ >_>

[calc84maniac]

After an intense spriting session, I now have object rotations! I set up an object which moves and rotates, as shown:

I also added the ability to go backwards and "strafe" left and right, as you might have noticed in the screenshot.

[TIfanx1999]

Oh wow, that looks really nice! This is developing quite nicley.

[DJ Omnimaga]

fucking awesome. Really reminds me F-Zero 68k, just without the grayscale. I like the cars especially.

[metagross111]

awesome, calc84maniac! any thoughts of a demo in the future?
