The monsters aren't animated because I spent more than 2 hours working on the Animation class from libgdx and couldn't work out how to apply it to Sprites.  Also spent another two hours trying to debug a problem where the shadows cast by the walls were also being cast by the monsters in a very unrealistic fashion.  It turned out I had two parameters to PointLight.setContactFilter round the wrong way :P"},{"author_name":"wandersenus","author_uid":"44802","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 9:09am","epoch":1418029440,"text":"nice game!"},{"author_name":"Iak","author_uid":"39346","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 9:17am","epoch":1418029920,"text":"If only combat had worked - kiting those things around gets a little old - I love the way you use whatever is currently not visible for terrain generation though!
