I play with Mode7Driver sample, and I would like insert sprite on the road.
The documentation of playdate.graphics.image:drawSampled explain the transformation :
Draws the image as if it’s mapped onto a tilted plane, transforming the target coordinates to image coordinates using an affine transform:
x' = dxx * x + dyx * y + dx
y' = dxy * x + dyy * y + dy
[...]
For adding some trees along the road, I defined trees postions with 'world' coordinates, and calculate screen coordinates x' and y' with function:
x' = dxx * x + dyx * y + dx and y' = dxy * x + dyy * y + dy
I have this result :
Trees are on my screen ! Yeah !
But not on the side of the road: Perspective is no calculated, because z (maybe tiltAngle) are not use in this function ...
Anybody can help me to resolve my perspective problem with a magical function ?
Can I find, somewhere, drawSampled implementation to see how is work ?
Next, with good coordinates in perspective, I need also apply a scale function base on 'z' value.
But I will advance step by step
I will try to understand a very good documentation found on the site below, but mathematics is hard for me
Hm, the provided formula doesn't incorporate the z and tiltAngle arguments, so implementing it yourself won't give the desired result. I also don't see an argument for rotating about the Z axis, so I don't think drawSampled() alone is sufficient for this use case. Are you using it in conjunction with something like drawRotated()?
Today I have add this code in Mode7Driver example :
for i, t in ipairs(trees) do
local deltaX = t.wx - x
local deltaY = t.wy - y
local cp = math.cos(angle)
local sp = math.sin(angle)
local dxx = cp / fieldscale
local dyx = sp / fieldscale
local dxy = -sp / fieldscale
local dyy = cp / fieldscale
local dx = t.wx/trackwidth
local dy = t.wy/trackheight
local posX = dxx * deltaX + dyx * deltaY + dx
local posY = dxy * deltaX + dyy * deltaY + dy
posX += 100
posY += 90
t:moveTo(posX, posY)
end
Where t.wx and t.wy is 'world' position of a tree
I have try to change some values or add some modifications to initial function, but is not a scientific approch xD
I need to understand how is work
drawsampled documentation is incomplet, missing perspective effect.
Well, I will try to implement my own mode7 renderer.
This is a good question, I've just been wondering the same. After all any "mode 7" game will want to draw sprites in positions on the world, not just on the center.
Hi, I am testing the mode7 and I wonder if you finally got this working. Did you get a snippet that you pass the tree x and y in the world and then returns the screen coordinate and the scale for the tree?
Regards
