Lightning! · SpaceCat's Game Dev Heroes!

Lightning!

I made something I think is fun - a lightning library.

What I like about lightning is that it doesn't have to be perfect. I was thinking of using svntax's version, but I really liked the idea of creating forks. I found an algorithm on GameDev stack exchange and thought I'd give it a crack!

In the demo code, I have made it possible to add a white flash (not seen in the demo video because I want people to be aware that more than flashes can cause siezures, so please use with care!!!)

From the Game accessibility guidelines:

There is always a chance of seizure from any game, even a game that avoids all common triggers. So the term ‘epilepsy safe’ must never be used. If you include a setting called ‘epilepsy safe mode’, you risk harming players and risk legal action being brought against yourself. Instead, describe what the setting relates to – ‘screen flash effects’, ‘effects intensity’, etc.
