A quick note to say this Blog is open for business. Over the coming months I'll be posting bizarre and obscure ideas for intro coding: super small graphics programs. The example image is from "Spheres Dream" which is just 4k ..4096 bytes. 4 scenes, music and synthesiser in 4k. It requires pixel shaders 2.0 and a fast graphics card (series 6 Nvidia or x600 onwards from ATi). The graphics are mine and the synth is by Pohar of the demogroup Rebels.
Thanks for the great first page Chris :) Some really nice explanations about the use of shader language and the distortion effect in your excellent 4kb.
ReplyDeleteI won't pretend to understand shader language but it's really interesting to get the explanation of what's going on which I would not have understood from just looking at the listing.
