Hi everyone.
Has Haxe or Heaps a library to make 2d shadows and lights?
Thanks.
Hi uSources!
I don’t think there are any libraries for that and as far as I’ve heard the Heaps 2D side might not have been developped that far. Some even say you should use 3D in Heaps, even when going for 2D. But I don’t know… I use 2D.
So, you have to think of a light system yourself, but with the internet there are many resources to start from:
- really interesting, for me the light systems in the Deepnight games look pretty much like what I would like to have for a game (e.g. ‘Cats are assholes’ and ‘Beneath the City’ look pretty amazing and Deepnight gives access to the source code, awesome dude)
Maybe you’ll need some further understanding how light in a 2D engine really works beneath it all when you dive in deeper
- videos on YouTube (e.g. Game Endeavor/Godot engine)
- articles (e.g. by Orangy Tang or on codelight.eu)
