Shader for knockback / hit flashing #25

Open rickbatka opened 10 years ago

rickbatka commented 10 years ago

Right now I have a hack that tints the gameobject red if it's in knockback mode. Should ideally flash the sprite white, but I can't figure out a way to tint the sprite white without writing a shader.

Task is to either write a shader or figure out some other way to tint white (or decide red is good and we don't want shaders )

we will eventually want shaders, without them the game will feel very bright and jagged no matter how well the assets are done, so maybe this is a good time to dive into that then.

shaders turn out to be a pain in monogame, there's this convert from an .fx file to a .mgfx file but the .mgfx file isn't text readable. I'll see what I can do about bringing in the convert to the build scripts.
