Dev Day Episode 57: It's Cloudy Out, It Used To Be A Little Sunny Out Earlier.

so instead of working more on the rain, i worked on some lighting stuff because it would accomplish what i really wanted and more.

so this is what it looks like in game right now, because i finished it already.

but there might be a better place to show this off.

but i really like how this all looks.

there are two bits of particle ffects here, one for the light bit, and one for the magic bit.

here's the code for the light bit:

///the light bit

c_lampelightblue=make_color_rgb(60,188,252);

//particle system

part_light_sys = part_system_create();

part_system_depth(part_light_sys,0);

//particle

part_light = part_type_create();

part_type_shape(part_light,pt_shape_flare);

part_type_scale(part_light,1,1);

part_type_size(part_light,18,20,0,0.1);

part_type_color2(part_light,c_lampelightblue,c_lampelightblue);

part_type_alpha1(part_light,0.1);

part_type_life(part_light,1,1);

part_type_blend(part_light,1);

//particle emitter

part_light_emit = part_emitter_create(part_light_sys);

part_emitter_region(part_light_sys,part_light_emit,x,x,y,y,ps_shape_ellipse,ps_distr_gaussian);

part_emitter_stream(part_light_sys,part_light_emit,part_light,1);

and here's the code for the magic bit.

///the magic bit

c_lampelightblue=make_color_rgb(60,188,252);

c_lampdarkblue=make_color_rgb(60,288,252);

//particle system

part1_sys = part_system_create();

part_system_depth(part1_sys,1000000);

//particle

part1 = part_type_create();

part_type_shape(part1,pt_shape_flare);

part_type_scale(part1,1,1);

part_type_size(part1,0.25,0.35,-0.005,0.2);

part_type_color2(part1,c_lampdarkblue,c_lampelightblue);

part_type_alpha2(part1,0.75,0.25);

part_type_speed(part1,0.1,0.3,0,0);

part_type_direction(part1,0,359,0,0);

part_type_gravity(part1,0.2,90);

part_type_life(part1,room_speed*0.5, room_speed);

part_type_blend(part1,1);

//particle emitter

part1_emit = part_emitter_create(part1_sys);

part_emitter_region(part1_sys,part1_emit,x-10,x+10,y-10,y+10,ps_shape_ellipse,ps_distr_gaussian);

part_emitter_stream(part1_sys,part1_emit,part1,1);

and i learned everything from this video.

tomorrow, i'll, i don't know i'll start making the intro level.

the hubworld is pretty much done except for more universal mechanics.
