Chunky Perspective Mode
You know the Perspective scollers, that use FLI to crunch rows and then you have a multi bitmap with Mul1 Mul2 cells.
Would it be practical/possible to make a 3D wrapped around a cylinder like look. Like Resogun on the PS4.
The main issue is you could make the "smallest" "pixels" 4x4(or 3x3 with a background grid) but you can only get 3 unique colours per 8x8, so you would need to do bitmap modes to change which of the 3 the "4th" pixel is(sprites?). But as you get to middle the "pixels" expand to give a perspective effect.
Has any demo done this? |

So, in the limit as the pixel size goes to infinity, scrollers become colour cycling effects. Amazing!
Locally in our frame of reference. Globally in the infinite unbounded universe it's still a scroller moving at relativistic speed. |

(...but it raises the important question of whether a scroller can be said to exist independently of there being an observer with the associated "local frame of reference".) |

The forest is still there when you don't look, right? |

...but is it then a "forest", with all its conceptual associations, or is it "just" physical matter? |

Ah, I see what you're getting at. We're creating reality as an abstraction through observation; when we are discussing "reality" as such we are only talking about an agreed-upon model representing physicality in some sense.
Can't touch this. |
