Lighting
Still a few hours before I turn in, but I've just got to the point of having diffuse light, ambient and shadows in our game. I've been working pretty hard on this over the last few days, and failed to write a diary entry, so it's nice that it has taken shape.On Monday I started programming (in C/C++) against trylock/visibility:
By yesterday I had that wrapped up as a library with CFFI bindings, which I've uploaded to PyPI as lightvolume.
I then plugged that into our engine (which is just rendering a TMX map with Pyglet) and added a simple shader to fade it:
Then I changed to rendering the map (and everything else) into a texture, which means I can now do lots of very cheap lighting passes. This is with one light and a little blue-ish ambient lighting. Starting to feel atmospheric!:
