Re: CF0.91.8??/lighting code ideas



 Well, the next version may be a bit delayed - my hard drive seems to be
having troubles, so I'll have to see if I can recover the code.

 As for light/darkness, the best suggestion I have seen to make it look
better is to used stippled patterns to draw on top of the square.  For
example, if the square is half light, the image would have 50% black
pixels, and the rest would be transparent.  Several such stipple patterns
could be made.  This reduces the complexity a great deal (to change colors
becomes much more complicated, and has the problem that most people only
have 8 bit color maps.)
