diffuse_shadow.c

/*
OpenGL cannot calculate diffuse shadows unless you do a lot of work:

http://www.opengl-tutorial.org/intermediate-tutorials/tutorial-16-shadow-mapping/
http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGems/gpugems_ch12.html

This example only illustrates that the top triangle,
which should act as an umbrella and cover all light coming from +y infinity
from the bottom one, does nothing, and so both have the same color.
