    I'm making a 2D game and would like to implement a shader that works like a flash light.

    So when I move the mouse over an area of the texture that part should be illuminated and the rest of the texture should remain dark, exactly how a flash light would work.

    Can someone suggest the best way to do this, please :)

    The easiest way to do this is with Unity's built-in lighting.

    Ie, A spot light follows the mouse, I think it is a kind of script trick,not much of shader
