I've had a wonderful terrible idea
What would make my game look a lot better (i.e. more like Tron) is if the ground was reflective
I think all I have to do is every time I draw something also draw a 50% alpha version upside down underneath it
Of course drawing two of everything would halve the frame rate
And then drawing things with opacity would lower it even more
And I'm sure it's not as simple as that to make sure everything ends up in the right z-order
maybe later
