Sorry to hear fullscreen would be too much hassle. I guess it should be avoided then. I just got worried for those who use a huge resolution, since the game screen would be small.

3D Glasses DJ? almost nobody has those at home, but yeah fullscreen would be much better!
Yeah I know and they're hard to find in real life here too. :P It would be funny for those who had them, though. :P

Yeah i have never had any luck with scaling images :( I guess it forces the scaler to go pixel by pixel, and at 800x800 thats like 160000 pixels, which is crazysauce :(

Yeah X.x. I remember with Game Maker, full screen wasn't too slow, but it looked blurry, which sucks when you want to preserve the old skool feel of a game.

Yeah, i probably could make this a lot faster and fullscreen if i rewrote it in a different language like C++ or Flash or something but i don't want to redo months and months of hard work x.x I think it will work with what it is.

Yeah this would suck to postpone or delay this project just to learn a new language. Projects often die in the way. I notice this happens often when people do that (especially BASIC to ASM. See Simplethinker's Chips clone, for example)

Before this post, there could only be a single light source (the flashlight) on the screen at any time.  This make the atmosphere fairly consistent and simple i thought, so i spent all of today figuring out Transparency Masks and the AlphaComposite class to learn how to draw objects in a way i have never done before.  By modifying certain variables, drawing a shape is like cutting a hole in an image.

 This led to all new possibilities with the shadow engine, and I am proud to say that I can now support an arbitrary amount of light objects in any given scene :) The lights can overlap, cash shadows, even change brightness!  This has led to some very awesome scenarios that i can create, with the dynamic shadow system really shining.

Note that once the lights are created, they can not be moved.  This is a slight drawback, but the advantage to this is that nearby light sources can be combined into a single object, which makes rendering an entire room of lights take the same amount of time as a room with a single light.

 Here are some screenshots of the engine at work:

Very cool. Reminds me a lot of The Silencer. http://ourl.ca/8472
There are flashlights in that as well (however they only took me a few minutes to make).

In fact, the silencer reminds me of Nightmare.

I don't know, but I played Nightmare before I played The Silencer.

I first started it sometime in August, directly after playing the Nightmare House 2 Mod for Half Life 2 Episode 2.  It really was inspiring, and as of now, I am developing Nightmare to act as a sort of prequel to the Nightmare House series, with the makers permissions :)

And thanks everybody on the encouraging comments ^^
