Shadow

The Shadow FX Controller.

This FX controller manages the shadow effect for a Game Object.

The shadow effect is a visual technique used to create the illusion of depth and realism by adding darker,

offset silhouettes or shapes beneath game objects, characters, or environments. These simulated shadows

help to enhance the visual appeal and immersion, making the 2D game world appear more dynamic and three-dimensional.

A Shadow effect is added to a Game Object via the FX component:


const sprite = this.add.sprite();



sprite.preFX.addShadow();

sprite.postFX.addShadow();

Constructor

new Shadow(gameObject, [x], [y], [decay], [power], [color], [samples], [intensity])
