Writing a shader is such a small self-contained project that it surely must be hard not to finish one, even for someone as lazy as myself? I will soon find out.<p/> 17 18 <p>I want to see if I can crank out a shader every day for two weeks, creative integrity be damned. Of course this includes publishing shaders to this site, which means setting up whatever relevant frameworks (exactly the kind of BS that I end up tinkering with endlessly to avoid actually doing my projects).<p/> 19 20 <p>Vamos.
