Level Generator problem
Anything in the attached image strike anyone as odd?
Look at the shadowing...I would like to know how the sun can cast light in 3 (4 if it were not connected) different directions...and also not cast light on an existing shadow.

If it were noon and the sun were directly above, there would be no shadows at all.

Then the light cast from the other star would fall upon the other shadow making it not visible any longer.

Of course when you generate the world you go back and edit the levels to have housing and such.

Even if they had 4 suns, the other suns would cast light upon the other shadows thus making them invisible.

Not necessarily. If your bathroom has one of those 6-bulb light bars over the mirror, go in there and look at your shadow. Where they all overlap they're darkest, but there are faint shadows from where only 5 bulbs shine on the wall, only 4, only 3, usually overlapping too.

It's not a bug, the level generator just places the objects as it sees the PNG.

What I think would be nice though would be you would be able to put a pure white pixel somewhere and the level generator would have that as the light source (and therefore shadows would only come out of one side)... but that's just my thought.
