Hey everyone, I just noticed that Bornemix is working on a new extension that could potentially be very useful. It's called the Lamp Object, and it allows you to create circles of light through which the level can be seen.
No actually this would be exactly what I'd need. As it is now I just use a large black active with a hole cut in it for the light source for the player. Not bad but some things could use their own like a torch or fireball projectile.
I know Spelunky uses something that looks like the above for its darkness levels and I always wondered how the hell he was able to do that. It's more than just static circles too because they expand and shrink depending on player distance from the light sources. It's pretty cool.
