Simple 2D lighting for Bevy focused on performance over features.

:warning: | This is still in development and not at all feature complete.

## Features

- Simple and fast `PointLight2d` light source with `falloff` configurable via inner and outer radius.
- Simple and fast `AmbientLight2d` light source.

## Limitations

- There is currently no light occluders or shadow casting at all.

## Usage

Take a look at [`/examples`](https://github.com/leomeinel/bevy_fast_light/tree/main/examples) to find out how to use this crate.

### Examples

#### `ambient_light.rs`

Scene with a blue `AmbientLight2d` with a lower intensity, a gray `Rectangle` as background and a red `PointLight2d`.

#### `point_light.rs`

Scene with a gray `Rectangle` as background and a red `PointLight2d`.

#### `texture_scale.rs`

Scene with a gray `Rectangle` as background and a red `PointLight2d` using a lower `texture_scale`.
