I'm trying to create a retro/vector-art 2D that has glowing lines like Defcon or a game called Project Vex...

How can I achieve this effect in TGB?
Thanks,

Hmmm... I thought there was a way to draw primitives? t2dShapeVector maybe?

Was removed when I remember correctly (haven't checked if 1.5 reimplements it)

t2dShapeVector is indeed still alive and kicking in 1.5.

It was removed from the TGB, that's true, but it's still in the engine. :-)

You can make a simple function that will draw a line using a small blurred dot sprites. You can draw it on texture (i.e. on a sprite) and then render the whole sprite at once.

Ok, let me put my 5 cents into this problem :)You can make a simple function that will draw a line using a small blurred dot sprites. You can draw it on texture (i.e. on a sprite) and then render the whole sprite at once.

Here's a resource to draw primitives with TGB. Of course, you need the pro version to add it. You can draw different shapes with transparent gradient colors as well.http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=9414
