Lantern playground
Amber lanterns tumble through a field of posts on a night stage. Each lantern is a light, each post casts a shadow, and you can throw, gather and scatter them.
About this scene
Sixty-four bodies pour down two ramps and through fifteen posts, stepped by Rapier 2D at a fixed 60 Hz and drawn every frame between ticks, so they move smoothly at any refresh rate. Six of them are lanterns that carry point lights, and every post is an occluder, so the posts throw soft shadows across the back wall that swing as the lanterns fall. The pointer carries a cool light of its own. Every sprite comes from one atlas the scene generates when it starts; there are no image files.
Controls Drag a body to throw it. Press and hold on empty space to gather the bodies around the pointer, then let go to scatter them.
