Trying to draw a textured polygon

[molul]

I'm trying to have a perspective effect on an image, a reto grid tunnel like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlKsfV2mRR8.

Using a quad I can manage to get the texture repeating, but not the distortion to make the perspective effect.

I was using a shader for this, but the device the app will run on doesn't seem able to display it correctly, so I'm looking for alternatives. Googling a bit, I've seen there was a different way to draw quads before LÖVE 0.9.0, which might have been handy for waht I want to achieve:
love.graphics.quad( mode, x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4 )

This was removed in 0.9.0 and now it's recommended to use "polygon" instead. However, polygons don't allow to set a texture like quads (afaik).

Does anyone have any idea on how to achieve this without using shaders? My last option is to draw a looped video, but I'd rather not, as it would make the project so big.

Note that love.graphics.quad, contrary to what the name might suggest, did not draw Quads at all, it drew quadrilaterals. Anyway, the answer is to use a Mesh. Note that shaders are supported everywhere love is, but on phones/embedded devices the shaders need to be OpenGL ES-compliant too.

I'll take a look at making the shader gles compliant. That might be the key.

I tried with a mesh but setting vertices to make the perspective effect resulted in a weird result (can't post a screenshot now, but I found some topics here with the same issue).


EDIT
I'm using this shader (perspective.lua-textured polygons): viewtopic.php?t=12483

Is it "gles-ready"? I can't seem to find a way to test if it would work on a gles device :-/

Try setting the LOVE_GRAPHICS_USE_OPENGLES environment variable to 1 before launching LÖVE; that should be all there is to it.

That is, assuming your computer supports GL ES and the drivers use a stricter compiler. I don't know how to check for that, but trying won't hurt.

Thanks It does support it and I'm setting that flag already, but I think the LÖVE build I'm currently using (made by a friend of mine because I'm really bad at that) needs some more work. He already told me performance wouldn't be very good yet, so I'm still calm about it.

I just wanted to know it the shader should work fine on a gles device, as I don't really know what to check. It would be cool if there was some online tool for that
