Shadows???

(1/7) > >>

jknilinux:
In pond mode, do we currently have "shadows"? What I mean is, if there's an algae, will it block light from reaching the algae below it? If we don't currently have this feature, I think we should implement it, because this should encourage algae to evolve into "plants" with leaves, etc... as they strive to increase their horizontal surface area while trying to stay on top of the other algae below them. This is how complex plants developed, right? Just a thought.

Numsgil:
It isn't implemented, but I agree it should be.  It wouldn't be too hard, we would just do some simple ray casting from the top of the screen.

Great! So, Eric, could you add bot and shape shadows to your [a href=\'index.php?showtopic=2709\']work list?[/a] Thanks!

bacillus:
I think that's a grand idea. Not meaning to complicate things already, but will semi-transparency be too hard also?
EDIT=>Ignore that, I think the gap between cells is good enough for transparency for now.

jknilinux:
Where is Eric? I guess he's just busy.

Well, when you get a chance, here's another suggestion to add to the work list. Thanks!
