Summary

Congratulations on making it to the end of this chapter! Although it took quite a while to re-architect our lighting engine, the results cannot be dismissed as miniscule. The shadows created by this method add a lot of graphical diversity to our world. In the next chapter, we're going to be discussing optimizations that can be applied to make the game run as fast as it possibly can after all of the fancy, clock cycle sucking techniques used throughout this book. See you there!

Pupius

Raimondas Pupius is a game development enthusiast from Lithuania, currently working towards getting a degree in software engineering, as well as a few projects of his own. Having started his unofficial education in this field at the age of 9 and being introduced to video games even prior to that has guided him to this particular career choice, which was only strengthened by the experience earned from his first book SFML Game Development By Example. The ultimate dream is, of course, starting a company of his own and making professional games for a living. His other interests include web development, which was his primary interest before game development, music and linguistics.
