Will V21 fix brick lighting issues?

The lights going through bricks is something that Kompressor said he might try and work on fixing sometime in the future

* Lights from bricks shine through other bricks

Fixing light bleeding through requires the calculation of shadows.
--- Quote from: kompressor ---We have to rerender the whole scene at least twice for every shadow casting light source. Imagine taking your framerate and dividing it by (4 + # of shadowcasting lights * 2). In other words, if you get 60fps right now, you would get 6 fps with just one or two shadowcasting lights.
So we are going to just do one directional light for now. Maybe eventually we will allow multiple lights to cast shadows.
