Crikey! Are you doing this for FPS reasons?
the lighting system is a nightmare but the shadows are actually really simple. i’m just tracing from each vertex to any lights it’s in the radius of and checking if something’s in the way or not. then i just update the vertex colors, darkening them if they’re blocked, and we got shadows 😎
