| Mar 19, 2018 at 14:00 | comment | added | Kroltan | Yeah it seems Canvas does not have a way to draw a tinted sprite. It seems pre-drawing offscreen is the only way. WebGL certainly can do that, using shaders, but writing the renderer would rather more involving. | |

| Mar 19, 2018 at 0:53 | comment | added | Dan Prince | i.imgur.com/wveiYbv.png I think it's there. Now I've just got to deal with the 10x performance hit. Currently drawing the light value to a separate canvas, then using that as a mask for the sprite, before drawing the masked colour onto the canvas and blending the sprite onto that. Any ideas for making that simpler? | |

| Mar 19, 2018 at 0:30 | comment | added | Kroltan | @DanPrince Yep! that's the concept. You still have some things to sort out on the northeastmost part of the map. Unless those are semitransparent tiles, in which case it's fine. | |
