Lightbulb Image Editing

*Note this is not Project shifter*

okay I am using projects user name because I dont have my own...

Now one good scripting idea to add to graal is a rotate image command.
This can be useful in many ways.
Also you should be able to define the characters direction by their degrees. For example:
3.14 would be the player facing up
1.64 would be right6.14 would be down
and 4.64 would be left.
This makes the shooting command easier for reasons like a made a bomb NPC which when you fire you set the angle and the shoot it. It is hard to do this because the shoot commands angles work differently. Although this is only to my opinion.
Also it may be a good thing to define light effects in a level.
This may be good to make shadows, if you could combine this with the rotate command idea. You an define how many lights are in the level, you can then count how many shadows there are. After that, defining how far the player is from one can determine how dark the transparency of the shadow is, finally using rotate and angles make the shadow oppose the light. These to my opinion can help graal out some
