This my friends is Mode-7 programming in effect on CD-i! Usually associated with games on the SNES including Super Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger and F-Zero. A strict definition of Mode-7 is a simple texture mapping graphics mode that allows a background layer to be rotated and scaled. By modifying the scaling and positioning of the layer on a scanline-by-scanline basis a simple perspective effect can be applied, transforming the layer into a 2D horizontal texture-mapped plane that trades height for depth. In short it looks 3-Dimensional! In 2008, the CD-i homebrew expect Charles Doty succeeded to bring this to CD-i and there were plans if this could work in a new CD-i homebrew effect. In short one of the most fascinating efforts in the world of CD-i homebrew! After 12 years, the demo was all that we saw from it, but who knows who dares to pick it up and create another CD-i homebrew game with this!
