Mode 7 and what I was doing are completely different things. Mode 7 takes a sprite, then distorts it to give an illusion of perspective. I was essentially doing a ray tracing (pixel-by-pixel) pass to draw the floors. I'm thinking about doing Mode 7 to draw floors in the future, though (but that's in the far future, after I squash all the bugs out).

True, I also noticed some games uses some sort of masking that makes the planet look round, so it looks like you're very high in the sky. I think Secret Of Evermore did, as well as FFV, but FFV didn't rotate so it isn't fully Mode 7.

Now what I am curious about is if it's possible to have fast Mode 7 on the Nspire? I mean the resolution is similar to the SNES and the SNES can run Mode 7 at 60 FPS. What I wondered is if a SNES can achieve such speed, why wouldn't a Nspire running at 90 MHz be able to do the same?

New demo fixes several bugs (most notably, floors). In addition, +/- move the camera up and down.
Sprite clipping is still buggy.

Latest demo fixes sprite clipping. Sprites now also move up and down with you.
Next up: sprites and blocks at different altitudes.

Wow nice and I noticed a major speed increase when close to walls. Nice job with the floors on top of walls. One only issue, tho: I noticed a very drastic slow down when close to sprites. Some frames even took 10 seconds to render

The sprites made my nspire crash (it didn't react or extremely slow so I even couldn't use esc). Are the walls infinitely high?

Nice! Sprites implemented! and tops for walls!

With Mode7 I don't think  I could tell the difference between that and real 3d!

The sprites don't crash; they just grow very tall when you get close.
Don't worry, this is easy to fix.

Thanks SirCmpwn.

Keep in mind people that it's not how fast the game run, in Sir screenie, though. Except when close to sprites, I swear I get in the 20-30 fps, based on how fast it runs.

I think this is gonna land in a Major community project sub-forum soon.
