Anyone know of a good way to cast dynamic shadows from sprites? I did a bit of digging and came up with this article, but It might as well be written in Latin (did I mention I’m more of a designer than programmer?). Still, the article mentions using the OpenGL API to achieve these effects. Does that mean it can be implemented here in Corona?
Thanks,

Hi there,
Dynamic shadows/lighting aren’t yet built in to Corona, and implementing it in your own code would be a daunting task. It could be done in Enterprise of course, but that’s not practical for most indie developers. Let’s hope it comes as a native Corona feature eventually, as it would certainly provide for some amazing 2D effects!
