I just made a shading function that casts shadows for sprites really fast. It works by manipulating another sprite, so it does limit the amount of sprites.

Are you going to use it in Home and The Axe? Those are the games I'm most excited about on SB.

I was gonna do this, but you beat me to the punch. Couldn't figure out the math for the shadow vs the light source.

@mason Yeah, at least Home. Using in The Axe would be much harder, since it has so many more sprites to generate and it reduces the max amount of sprites. @alex The math I used was mostly done with the same logic as ray casting, except it doesn't actually cast any rays.

See, it's really simple, so I've already implemented it in Home.

Can you provide a key for this, I might want to use it in my game.

[43EX243D] It's actually a full library with lots of other functions that I made, so feel free to look at the documentation. To actually shade, create 2 sprites in a row that are the same, set the angle of the light source with ANGD height angle, xz angle (the angle visible on the screen), then just do SHADE (sprite number). I have more detailed documentation on SmileBASIC Source, thank you limits

Where is it on smile basic source?

Can you put the coding on the screen? I could use this in my game.
