PixelPAD 2D - filters

Filters

Filters, sometimes called shaders allows us to use our Graphics Cards to create special visual effects. PixelPAD2D gives us access to a collection of filters that we can use. To use them you just need to add them to a GameObject, or the Game object itself.

add_filter(obj: GameObject, filter : Filter) -> filter id

Beispiel

Adds a filter to an object, or globally if set to the Game object.
Parameter
obj
The object to apply the filter on. You may also use the object, which applies the filter globally

filter
The filter to use. For example, you can create a new glow filter by calling new_glow_filter()

remove_filter(obj: GameObject, filterid : number) -> Filter
