Unfortunately, there's one major flaw: Rendering usually happens in reverse z-order, so currently the shadow will always be applied to the bottom-most object. That means, all the clipping and cutting the shadow in parts needs to happen at the collision detection stage, where we actually have the objects in the correct order. Then, during rendering, we just draw and don't have to worry about any order. For today I'm done, however. So enjoy the shadow on the ground ... more correct behavior should come soon.
