Almost there...

There's gonna be a second driving section without walls later.

Like I said before, draw_background_tiled_ext() can't do rotation. ...but if I'm not rotating, I can use it without consequence for an infinite floor.

I'm gonna work on a system for the road to constantly spawn objects as I move forward in a sequence.

Still working on it.

There's definitely treasure around here, but it'll still take a while 'til we reach it.

Trying to do that Infinite Floor thing (technically, it's a trick of the camera), and I think it chugs.

Makes sense, since it's drawing on one surface over and over for each scanline, then putting that on another surface, which puts that on-screen.

Hmm...

First off, you can't rotate a background with draw_background_tiled. However, you can draw anything on a BIG surface, and a surface can be rotated and doubled up.

So, the infinite floor uses a surface, and now it's not chugging so hard. Look at the FPS.

If you've had your fill of games where you play as elephants and blue hedgehogs, this might be for you.

...and I haven't advertised this the best, but it's coming.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

Here I am, still trying to push the limits. I'm pretty sure there's a shader for Mode 7 out there, but this is what I've been working with.

Also, because of limitations, red flashing floors generate force fields you can bump into.

I might have gone too far in a few places, and not enough in others.

All this work to get punched in the face.
