Set Config.maxLights to a higher value before instantiating a World.

Why wont you change that feature on jpct?

Because it will break all existing code and doesn't really gain you anything except for giving you the gut feeling that it's somehow "better" that way. One thing i really hate about non-commercial software (may it be open source or not) is when the API constantly changes without adding new functionality, i.e. when the only reason for a change is to make the developers of the API feel better.
But i may add such Wrapper as an option and put it into the util-package. I haven't done this until now, because nobody ever complained about it and because such a wrapper is drop dead simple to write by yourself if needed.

Melssj5:
but the feature is not only for moving the lights, if having the object Light with its own methods it could help for managing them, for example:

a method to move the lights

a method to remove it from the world

a method to change its colors

a method to change its radio action

etc.

of course this things can be donde on other ways but its not likely to get a Light instance by using an id for managing them from another class. The problem is that I dont know how to get that ID.

rolz:
The id is assigned by World when you call world.addLight()


--- Code: ---

public static class Light {

 private int lightId;

 public Light(World world){
  this.lightId = world.addLight((new SimpleVector(), 255 255,255))
 }

//... put your methods here
//setColor()
//setPosition()
//setIntensity()

}


--- End code ---
