# light_world.lua

A library for Love2d to create a dynamic lighting system, supporting:

- Shadows for any shape

- Normal maps for 3d like reflections

- Glow maps

- Postshader effects

- Animations with normal maps

All of this is base of a previous version made by [PriorBlue](https://bitbucket.org/PriorBlue/love2d-light-and-shadow-engine),

## Installation

Copy and rename the lib folder into your project.

## How to use

For more information please check out the [wiki](https://github.com/tanema/light_world.lua/wiki) and see the examples directory to see how it is fully used.

This project can be run with love to see the demonstrations in action.

```lua

local LightWorld = require "lib" --the path to where light_world is (in this repo "lib")

--create light world

function love.load()

  lightWorld = LightWorld({

    ambient = {0.21,0.21,0.21},         --the general ambient light in the environment

  })

end

function love.update(dt)

  lightWorld:update(dt)

  lightWorld:setTranslation(x, y, scale)

end

function love.draw()

  love.graphics.push()

    love.graphics.translate(x, y)

    love.graphics.scale(scale)

    lightWorld:draw(function()

      -- do your stuff

    end)

  love.graphics.pop()
