    lighting a dark area using surfaces

    I want to try and make a light that cuts out darker areas and allows the player to see. My game focus is supposed to be a barrier gimmick, 100x100 surrounding the player of the same size. I think the way to do this is with surfaces but I don't know how. Or am I wrong and need to do something else?
