This is a new concept feature I have been thinking about for the past couple of weeks now.  There is a small interface for the lights and I’ve started a new Spotlight class that will act like a spotlight on the game screen.

There are a couple of way to make a light work in the current system without using the undeveloped light classes.  Because the game engine draws in layers we can add a gobo to a drawable object that is on the top layer.  This has been done in the demo game and here is a picture for reference of the effect:

Once the light system gets created the need for gobo will be diminished.  There will still be times that a gobo may be needed but instead of applying them to regular game object they will be applied to the light itself.
