Out of curiosity, how are you casting your rays? Are you using a trig-based method, or the bresenham algorithm you posted in the routines thread a while back?

Its an awesome increase :D I also had an idea.  Might it be possible to have a beam of light (possibly 90 degrees) instead of a full circle?  This would drastically reduce the amount of raycasting needed, and also might be used as a further game element.

Yah, I guess I could do this, but I'm slightly worried about the possibility that the player might then just be lost because they lack enough info to know where they're going and they'll end up just stumbling around in the dark... (which is actually more realistic then I have now, but not as fun :P)

I'm using the bresenham algorithm, except much more optimized.  I'll actually post what I have in a minute (although there aren't many improvements yet), as soon as I back up my calc...

Maybe what you could do is have a beam of light, but also have a circle of light around the player no matter what.  (Basically the shadow beams always start out a certain distance from the player before they can start casting shadows).  That way it still has a beam but you can still see whats really close to you.

You should check out this game http://www.kongregate.com/games/Jiggmin/neverending-light it has a shadow effect and is one of my most inspirational and favorite flash game :)

Steelm, I've noticed you seem to be spamming the forum with random single word comments.  Please refrain from posting spam if you don't have anything constructive to say, as well as try to look at the post date to make sure you are not posting on threads that have died out a while ago.  This is a warning, any more spam and you will be banned.

On a side note did he get any PM warning? I generally warn via PM but sometimes people won't notice (not that it matters, though. If I ever ban someone I put in the ban message that the person was warned already)

I wonder if this engine could be used for a pseudo-3D game... When I look at the screenshots I think GTA.

Hmm that might be a bit too much for Axe, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I hope Michael works again on this eventually by the way.

Just realized it's a lot like this game: http://www.addictinggames.com/arcade-games/find-exit-game.jsp

Maybe try porting it? :D

I just made it through 10 levels of that, and I'd love to see it on the calc.  That's an awesome game. :D

Actually Light kinda reminds me of Builderboy's Nightmare game now. I wonder if a calc port of nightmare would be possible?

By the way I wonder where has Michael_Lee been recently? ???

I'm afraid that currently, my engine is too slow for much of anything.
I've optimized it as much as I know how, but it's too slow inherently: I'm probably going to have to redo most of it.

I'm behind a filter: what's the game like?
Is there an equivalent version for android phones floating around?
Is there a youtube video somewhere?

It's similar in that when you're in a maze, and when you move, you "light up" the path in open directions.
