Colors
"Additive light is additive, yellow and blue (really its cyan) only make green subtractively (as with paper)" Technically, yes. However, my test with a pure yellow sun (255r 255g 0b) yielded a sun that's yellow at the center and mostly greenish for the rest of its effect. I thought that made an interesting insight into how the additive effect actually behaves, as opposed to what would seem logical. --Demented 20:16, 14 Nov 2005 (PST)
Moon
At night, can this entity really double as a moon? It doesn't look too good - too shiny - but it's hard to find a sprite which doesn't flicker or worse. Have you found any settings that work? --MossyBucket (formerly Andreasen) 12:54, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
