Lighting from the character

Hi guys,

I would like to know how I could implement lighting emanating from the player's character.

Let's say we have a dark room. Only the small area around the player is lit.

This is easy to do in 3d, but have no idea how to implement it in 2d and in construct. I just need the general idea on how to do it.

Thanks!

This should get you started:

Gee, thanks a lot. I keep on searching using the keyword "lighting" and found nothing.

Thanks again.
