Light effect with Gideros

AWoehrmann

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to design a game for iOS. Currently I'm checking out different SDKs and Gideros seems to be quite suitable for my needs. But there is one crucial function it has to provide.
So my question is: Is it possible to code an effect with Gideros like the one in the picture attached? As you can see, I have a background (grey, more or less) covered with darkness and the player can place figures anywhere on the screen that light up the area around them so that the background is visible again in this particular area (the figures literally light up the area). Additionally, figures once placed, should move all over the place and carry their light with them, as if they were small lanterns.
Thank you very much in advance for your help,
Best regards,

Andrej
