Description This is the latest version of my mode7 engine.
You can check the old (creepy one) here : [link]

Though it uses still old school rays, it's still efficient.

It's still a wip..

Thanks, only Flash and actionscript (2.0 in this case, quiet old engine).

You can see how it works there : gotoandplay.it/_articles/2006/… (source downloadable)

its good, but you can make it slow down then stop, to make it look more realistic. either way, your doing a good job. Merry Christmas

Mode 7 graphics were pretty cool back in the 16-bit video game days. Games like F-Zero, Super Mario Kart, & Sonic CD's bonus stages all felt so 3D because of it.
(And it was nice to finally have racing games where you could turn all the way around.)

This is a pretty cool thing you made here. It may not be the full game, but it's acctually kinda fun to zoom around in all directions with it. It's amazing what you can do with Flash nowadays.

Yeah, I'm an old school mode 7 nostalgic too

Flash is able to do this "trick" since the 5th version

Beau-Skunk In reply to Zappan [2009-05-02 17:08:13 +0000 UTC]

That's cool, I didn't know you could do mode 7 effects in Flash. Not many people seem to appreciate Mode 7 graphics, or talk about them much. Nice to see somebody else who does.

Makes me wanna play F-Zero or something.

wonderwhy-ER [2006-12-27 13:40:51 +0000 UTC]

Woot. Cool. So you create stripe like movie clips taking values from bitmap?
Have you played with displacement filter? I really like to know how to do something like that [link]
May be you've seen somewhere something like that? I mean tutorial on how to use displacement filter to achieve such effects.

Zappan In reply to wonderwhy-ER [2007-01-02 08:07:13 +0000 UTC]

I'm currently working on mode7 using bitmapdata, but I've no tutorial (If you find some, tell me, I'm interested too )

thelochness07 [2006-10-29 21:41:26 +0000 UTC]

i like it! it'll be very fun once you progress it a little more.
idea:
make this into some type of engine to help other people make other really cool first person games. or just release the source for the same reason

and also: i really like it +fav

Zappan In reply to thelochness07 [2006-10-30 09:20:00 +0000 UTC]

Thanks !

There are already many mode7 engine better than mine available

Let me give you some links :
Basics of mode 7 : [link]

Mode 7 by Frederic Heintz (bitmap data) :
[link] (Source available on is website)

A mode 7 better than mine with oponents solution and source available :
[link]

Another mode 7 engine (prefer the first I gave you) :
[link]



But for first person engine, as I think you're able to work on them, try raycasting/raytracing engines

This last one is astonishing, isn't it ? I'm working on my own right now

Man, you gotta show me how you did this I want to make a game in this fahion and here is my idea: the player is right behind a truck that we control and as we are driving zombies are on the road and of course you have to run their asses over. The more zombie you run over the higher the score.

Zappan In reply to g33kz [2006-10-25 09:06:38 +0000 UTC]

This is a simple mode7 engine, I can add sprites in a fake 3d environnement.
To add walls, it must be a raycasting or raytracing engine
