Hello folks,
I'm new to DGDK and have been working about a week on a space game. Fairly happy with the results, especially as a first go at graphics programming. Thanks to everyone's posts getting me this far....
So I managed to get a sun with a corona, using a bloom camera. But I'm getting three wierd effects. First, I can't change the color. Have no idea why. Second, there's this triangle lens-distortion. Finally, attempts to rotate the star merely removes it altogether.
I know I've done *something* wrong, just don't know what. Any ideas?
