I am creating a tiled game (2D top down) and I created explosions working this way:

The blue lines are walls, the white grid is accessable space. The red dot is the origin of the explosion with the green explosion radius. The orange lines are how I am doing raycasting (I am using Box2d) at the moment to ensure that only accessable things are hit (nothing behind the blue walls should be hit).

I cant just draw a circular sprite over the whole area as I dont want to let the explosion look like it is going over walls and stuff. My solution: I will draw an explosion tile over each tile that is in the radius.

This is how I want the explosion to look like:

Everything in the yellow "polygon" should be drawn as an explosion.

There are some issues seen here in the purple circles:

In "real life" the explosion will go around corners.

My question simply is: Do you have any idea on how to find all tiles that should be drawn as an explosion? Or maybe you do have a better approach!

Thank you!

The effect I want reminds me of minecraft water physics but in 2d.

Thank you!
