Super Nintendo Mode 7 demo

A simple demo reproducing SNES peudo 3D planes.

What is mode 7?

Mode 7 is a Super Nintendo graphics mode allowing applying an affine transformation (translation, scaling, rotation, etc.) to the background. I strongly recommend this video explaining mode 7 in depth. This mode became famous for its usage in games such as F-Zero and especially Super Mario Kart, allowing to render pseudo 3D planes (technically, pseudo 3D planes on SNES is a combination of mode 7 and HDMA)

How to use

Make sure you have go 1.11 or newer installed.

go run mode7.go
