New Contest?
I say we need a new contest, "rotate that sprite" quickly became a joke.
I propose a tilemap renderer which draws with perspective and rotation, similar to mario kart.

You know your hexadecimal output routine is broken when it displays the character 'G'.

I guess my z80 knowledge is to limited to organize a competition with fair rules. So you are free to do so.Dwedit wrote:I say we need a new contest, "rotate that sprite" quickly became a joke.

The SNES implements Mode 7 in hardware, not software. So disassembling F-Zero wouldn't be very helpful, it would just show what the SNES writes into those registers.calcul831415 wrote:That sounds fun. I wonder if it was possible for someone to take teh F-Zero engine (was it Mode7) decompile it, and then port it to z80.
Definitely a new contest is needed.

I didn't know it was gonna be a contest I wouldn't have released code...
Ah well...Coelurus already did so, makes no difference.
I agree with you on the rotate sprite, we helped each other way to much.

Damn straight, the sort one was better.tr1p1ea wrote:and you menat to say 'utterly useless' instead of 'efficient' right? .
I already started this does that mean I can't enter, or is a prizeless competition less strict.tr1p1ea wrote:I think that if the comp was going to be mode7 ... we would require a fair bit of time, and you cant expect more than a few entries ... if you're lucky.
Sorry if this derails the topic a little but would ball race be an example of mode 7. Or maybe a close cousin? The commenting is written in Klingon so I can't tell.

I guess it's a few branches off on the family tree then. It's nice and fast though. Would make a decent mario cart.
