CRT effect

Applies a CRT effect, simulating an old cathode-ray tube television.

The effect combines several elements you can mix to taste: scanlines, screen curvature, a vignette darkening the edges and static noise. It can also animate over time — the scanlines can scroll and the noise can flicker — to reproduce the look of a live, unstable old TV signal rather than a static picture.

Tip

Effects can be turned on and off or have their parameters changed with events while the game runs. For instance, you can leave the CRT effect subtle most of the time and briefly increase its noise or curvature when the player takes damage or a scene glitches.

This is a 2D-only effect: it can be applied to 2D objects and 2D layers.
