Mode 7 arithmetic is carried out on 16-bit signed fixed point numbers, while all offsets are limited to 13 bits. The radix point is between bits 7 and 8. Two-dimensional affine transformations can produce any combination of translation, scaling, reflection, rotation, and shearing—and nothing else. However, many games create additional effects by setting a different transformation matrix for each scanline. In this way, pseudo-perspective, curved surface, and distortion effects can be achieved. Mode 7 can only work on backgrounds, not sprites; therefore, any object that does not rotate or scale with the background must be a sprite, even items that would normally
