Neat shadows for 2D games

[erixon]

Rewrote an shadow effect from an old game of mine in AS3 and was playing around with "soft" shadows. Click or drag to change light position.

Each point in the "virtual polygon" that generates the shadows can have a custom height. Works very well on buildings from above.

Hopefully I can release it as some free package in near future.

kind regards

That looks pretty cool, very well done

Very nice effect. The snowstorm is very nice too.
Btw, I also like the tiny components (sliders, checkboxes) you are using, are they available somewhere ?

Not really, the checkbox and slider are two classes I've written myself, the slider is fixed length at the moment, but have custom scales and triggers. I have seen other people doing downloadable "tiny components" somewhere.
