This project demonstrates a 2D lighting system implemented in C# using the MonoGame framework. It showcases the use of normal mapping and custom shaders to create dynamic and realistic lighting effects in a 2D game environment.
- Dynamic Lighting:
- Multiple light sources, including point lights and spotlights.
- Adjustable position, radius, color, opacity, and direction for spotlights.
- Spotlights:
- Support for inner and outer cone angles, enabling realistic light falloff.
- Independent configuration of direction and spread angle.
- Normal Mapping: Adds realistic depth and lighting effects to flat 2D textures using normal maps.
- Custom Shaders: Utilizes HLSL shaders for point lights and spotlights, allowing advanced lighting calculations.
- Interactive Controls:
- Use the mouse and keyboard to move lights, adjust their properties, or switch between active light sources.
- Fine-tune light properties (radius, opacity, cone angles, etc.) in real time.
- Modular Design:
- Separate managers for light management, shader preparation, and rendering.
- Promotes clean and maintainable code by dividing responsibilities between specialized classes.
- TAB: Cycle through the available point light sources.
- P: Cycle through the available spot light sources.
- Space: Toggle current light mode.
- Mouse Left Click: Move the selected light source to the mouse position.
- W / S: Move the selected light source along the Z-axis (depth).
- Q / E: Update the selected spot light source angle.
- Arrow Keys: Adjust the radius and opacity of the selected light source.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Arharim/Simple-2D-hlsl-shader-for-monogame.git cd Simple-2D-hlsl-shader-for-monogame - Open the solution file (
.sln) in Visual Studio or your preferred IDE. - Add texture files and normal maps and build them using the monogame pipeline tool, substituting their names in the Main.cs file
- Build and run the project.
