I’ve recently made a little demo/test of the SNES’ background mode 7, wich can perform affine transformations to an image > **[Mode 7](https://arcade.makecode.com/19359-13680-50491-82084)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. To understand how this works, I recommend watching this video by Retro Game Mechanics Explained about mode 7 [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/3FVN_Ze7bzw/maxresdefault.jpg "SNES Background Mode 7 - Super Nintendo Entertainment System Features Pt. 05") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FVN_Ze7bzw) ---

You could use it to rotate the background with the racetrack as the car turns, or rotate the car sprite itself. It can also do scaling, flipping and shearing. ---

I just did this (the manipulations) using the b button and I scrolled from top to bottom and recorded this cool effect! ![gif of epic effect](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/0/046abb503ad03d159ff712df03cb43a568597d34.gif) It doesn’t look as cool in gif form but it’s really cool! ---
