Okay... sounds a bit unbelievable but okay. The "coolest" and most flexible way in my opinion to implement 2d shadow rendering is with signed distance fields, but it's also the approach that's most difficult to implement.

Matt's solution with the polar transform that was linked above comes second.

The "no shader" limitation unfortunately means all high-performance GPU implementations are out the window and you have to make do with some sub-par hacky solution that looks and performs worse.

I'd recommend looking into one of the good solutions anyway, because anything else is going to be utter crap in comparison.

Thanks for the

To be honest I was planning to do a normal POV grid based thing for determining what isn't seen

Polygons are actual polygons, drawn with love.graphics.polygon() and "tiles" are usually defined as graphics (or quads of graphics) drawn with love.graphics.draw(). Polygons are generally slow and inefficient compared to drawing tiles. You used both terms - which are you drawing a lot of?

I just figured tiles are a type of polygon in coding terms (to , like, fit it into the algorithm). So I do mean tiles, but for me to do the method I'll have to treat them as algorithms right?

Funny thing is that autocorrect says "a lot", but my autocorrect misses words like "platformer" and others and whenever I type "alot" I'm always like "I KNOW this is how it's done. I just KNOW it must be" Atleast now it's in my head for good, thanx thanks
