Hi! Yesterday I was trying to guess how a game like Top Gear 2 for Super Nintendo is programmed... it does not look like mode 7... how would you do something like that on Bennu? I am saying it does not look like mode 7 because there are hills on the road, the road is not even and plane.

They use a set of techniques, in Top Gear 2 for consoles, the objects of the side of the road (pub, trees, houses, etc) are made with 2,3 alternate images in diferent sizes (is not a real zoom like out run arcade, but you can do the same effect of zoom with bennu).

The road use another tecniques.

The best example to do something similar it's a french Super Hang-On clone game made with DIV games studio!!

I send it to you in a couple of minutes.
Regards.

I was looking to do a game like this one since lot of time, but i can't find nothing (i don't search it seriously, although).
I saw that games uses something called "raster effects" and can be done "drawing in real time", because you need to deform the road following the camera side by side, and following the hills of terrain.
Maybe you will be luckyer than me.
