I made a lighting dynamics demo, check it out! When you open the file using love2d, you will have to wait for a bit to let the tiles generate.

It's okay, but flat lighting is meh compared to per pixel lighting. :brows:

What? Well yea this is pixel lighting but what are you trying to say?

That's not per pixel lighting, that's per triangle (polygon, surface, whatever word you like better) lighting.
Per pixel lighting would have a smooth gradient.

Oh. Yea your right. But this is what came to my mind when I was making lighting dynamics, an easy way. But is it possible to do per pixel lighting with love2d? If so, then how?

While per-pixel lighting gives a smoother, more "realistic" look, I really like this style of lighting too. This style fits really well with "retro" style graphics, and also with tile-based games.

Pixel Effects.

And even with what I said above about pixel lighting, this is definitely a good looking style for some games, so good job nonetheless. :)
