Is there a way to program a vignette effect directly into my game? I know Blitz Doesn't handle transperancy very well :(

Also, Can somebody tell me how I could have a game that was mostly dark, but then have a light source? All of this needs to be in 2d.

Like, You are walking around and the vignette is very dark because you can't see, then you place a light and the area around that light is visible? I don't know lol

A simple way to program this might be to have different frames of the image. For example have a chair with three or four frames, one fully lit, two would be dim and three fully dark and connect it to the distance of any light source in your game.

hmm that is actually a clever idea
