Hi all!

This is a quick little tutorial about a visual effect that I like very much...

This light effect is a kind of hole into a dark surface over layers of your game.
This surface can be placed whereever you want: over all layers or between two layers.
You can set the darkness intensity with alpha between a value from 0 (no darkness) to 1 (totaly black).

We are going to create a light object associated to a sprite. This sprite is a simple white circle. But you can use an animated sprite.

If you use a simple white circle, it would be interesting to make it animated by increasing and decreasing the radius with the function draw_sprite_ext.

>obj_playerLight: Create, Step and draw event....
