"Not actually relevant. They might exist without you knowing of them, or they might exist in the future but not yet. Neither is an argument for not supporting mode7-type effects."
In the dark unknown future the unreal 3 engine may or may not have been ported to multimedia fusion so mode 7 is equally irrelevant

There's a difference between actual possibility and facetious remark.

Actually, even if a proper 3D engine were to be implemented in MMF, mode7 wouldn't be obsolete, since the overhead would be much smaller when you only require simple effects, and retro-style 3D (the entire point of the mode7 extension) would still also be more easily attained.
This has to be the most amazing advantage of Hardware Acceleration: (when they say 'e + g', e = time taken to process events, and g = time taken to render)
"Traditionally, both [events and graphics] are done on the CPU, so the time for one frame to process is e + g. Since the GPU and CPU work in parallel, Construct can perform both tasks at the same time, hence the time for one frame to process is max(e, g). So long as e < g, event work has no effect on your framerate.
Lol, nah, I'm just well miffed at Clickteam, cos everything that makes Construct great is stuff I've been asking CT to implement for years, LOL! It's nice to finally have someone listening
I think they're gonna release it later today (11th), cos it's only 3pm GMT at the mo (and most of their developers are from the UK).
Been reading their blog and everything they have to say - Construct sounds like a proper developer's tool, and I can't wait to get my hands on the beta to see what it can do
