This is a proposal for a world lighting system. It also describes how player vision fits into this system.

Terms:
Light allows vision Sight range of vision The Sun the ultimate source of light Torch a fixed source of light on a map Lantern a mobile source of light carried by a being Portal a passage between two maps

Overworld

The Overworld is lit by the Sun. Torches and lanterns aren't needed in the Overworld.

Underworld

The Underworld is lit by torches and lanterns. Some light filters in from the Sun, mostly through portals that lead to the Overworld.
