What kind of rotation will it be?  Will it be possible to rotate 1 degree?

It would be impossible to rotate an 8x8 sprite by 1 degree, because the sprite is simply not big enough. Maybe a 1 degree rotation would work for a much larger sprite, but it wouldn't look that great.

i think the rotations will be by 90°. though i would like to see 45° if possible.

90 degrees would probably be the easiest.  How could you do 45?

It's definitely 90 degrees, considering that the inputs and outputs are 8x8 sprites.

i'm not sure how you would do it, i'm just saying that if it's possible it'd be cool to be able to rotate 8x8 sprites 45°

Yeah they're just by 90 degrees.  I've finished all the routines, I just need to implement the commands now.  The output sprite needs to be at least sqrt(2) times larger else there will be clipping during the rotation.

I decided to stop the poll since I will probably have time for all 3 of those features next version.  Instead, I've decided to ask a more interesting one for a feature I don't plan on adding anytime soon if at all, but I'm very interested in what everyone will think of this.  If you're not sure what each option is referring to, all examples are the Super Nintendo versions of the game, you can see some videos of the games on YouTube to clarify.

I personally think mode 7 would be awesome to see. I am curious though, wouldn't polygons be a bit slow?

Any/all of these would be amazing, but I think the one that would work the fastest and therefore have more uses is Mode 7.

^ This.

Also, I'm looking forward to some Mode 7.

Mode 7 sounds like a cool idea. Voted for it. It would be nice to see more racing games for the 83+ and maybe RPG world maps like Final Fantasy VI or Secret Of Mana/Evermore:
 

If you add Mode 7, though, I would recommend allowing the user to specify the height and Y offset of the Mode 7 display too.

raycasting or mode 7 would be the best.  But how would you set up routines to handle it?

This site is aimed at the GBA, but it still wonderfully explains/demonstrates Mode 7 and provides, albeit customized for C programming and the GBA, the math behind it:

http://www.coranac.com/tonc/text/mode7.htm
http://www.coranac.com/tonc/text/mode7ex.htm

For Mode 7, you'd probably need something like the following:
  • New two-byte variables to which to store the pointer to a tilemap, the size of the tilemap, and a pointer to the tileset (the special u, v, and w characters?)
  • New one/two-byte variables for camera x and y position (X1T/Y1T?)
  • New one/two-byte variables for camera x and y direction (X2T/Y2T?)
  • A new one-byte variable for camera zoom (X3T?)
  • A new one-byte variable for camera height (Y3T?)
  • And the routine of course

Or you could just have the routine require all these inputted as arguments, but that would require the programmer to either give up a lot of the existing variables for this or designate annoying extra variables like {711+L1}r, {709+L1}r, etc.

I'm for polygons and mesh.  This, folks, is the same kind of 3D you get on a computer!  I would vote there, too, if I were you.
