@box2d/lights

@box2d/lights

A TypeScript port of Kalle Hameleinen's Box2DLights. @box2d/lights is a 2D lighting framework that uses @box2d/core for raycasting and WebGL for rendering. This library can be used without @box2d/core, so if your 2D physics library supports raycasting, you might be able to use this as well.

Features

• Arbitrary number of lights
• Gaussian blurred light maps
• Point light
• Cone Light
• Directional Light
• Chain Light [New in 1.3]
• Shadows
• Dynamic/static/xray light
• Culling
• Colored ambient light
• Gamma corrected colors
• Handler class to do all the work
• Query method for testing is point inside of light/shadow

This library offer easy way to add soft dynamic 2d lights to your physic based game.

Usage

TODO (see the testbed for simple examples)

The @box2d Ecosystem

@box2d is a full-blown ecosystem for box2d for the JavaScript/TypeScript world. It can be used both in the browser and in node.js

Check out demos and compare performance here: https://lusito.github.io/box2d.ts/

Fair Warning: The whole @box2d ecosystem is in an early stage, so it will probably change a lot before we release the first stable version (1.0.0).

Other packages included in the ecosystem:

• Benchmark: Based on bench2d by joelgwebber
• Controllers: From the LiquidFun project
• Particles: Also from the LiquidFun project
• Lights: ported from LibGDX
• DebugDraw: Debug drawing using a canvas
• Testbed: A set of demos, partially ports of the original projects, partially new ones.
