Help with 2D lighting

[erasio]

I'll keep it short and just say no.

In theory possible but the CPU is soo much worse at calculating things like light.

Dynamic light is relatively expensive. If you can't use shaders for it on your laptop it's very most likely not capable of displaying dynamic light in any form.

This thread has more info and some examples -- my own lighting is basically the same technique:

It's worth noting that this is a form of static (or very simple) lighting. It does not cast shadows, doesn't support normal maps and could not produce anything close to the example shown by yetneverdone (OP).

More like a bright spot. Which can work beautifully for some games! Don't get me wrong!

But it doesn't seem quite like what's being asked for here.

Thats okay. Im also looking for that kind of lighting without using shaders
