Lighting

The lighting system is a tile-based shadow and light system first introduced on floor 2 in Baldi's Basics Plus.
== Description ==
The main purpose of the lighting system is to give the Super Schoolhouse shading by creating shadows, and dark rooms or hallways. It uses tiles as the main method of illuminating, light sources include ceiling tile lights (in hallways) and lamps (in rooms). The further a tile is from a light source, the darker the tile is. The light sources can be indicated with the light texture on the ceilings.
One of the main uses for the lighting system is the light flickering effect by The Test, in which the lighting ambience is turned down and the overall tile brightness from the light system is globally lowered.
Since Baldi's Basics Plus V0.3.5, when the lighting gets darker, the contrast of textures and sprites is increased. This is especially notable for white brick walls."This is intentional, there's a new effect where contrast increases as lighting gets darker. I'm probably going to continue tweaking the intensity of the effect though." - Baldi's Basics Plus Steam Community Hub
The lighting system is also used in Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, especially notable when playing the game with Lights Out Fun Setting.
Some textures use a light guide to make them brighter in dark areas. This was implemented in Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered first, then V0.3.8 of Baldi's Basics Plus.
