Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.

...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...

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.

The only thing harder than animating a set of wheels is making it handle like a set of wheels.

...and making an infinite floor without resorting to the official 3D engine.

A rather interesting thing I forgot about...

There are a lot of robot arms in a prosthetics factory. They flail about, so don't get too close, or they'll hurt you.

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.

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...

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

So, what's the secret to drawing a car?

1. Just draw the car from profile, back, and possibly front.

2. Dig out any Hot Wheels product for reference.

3. Use the reference to figure out how to draw those in-between angles.

This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.
