🐉 Making Rust a first-class language and ecosystem for GPU shaders 🚧

Project mention: Candle: Torch Replacement in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-08

I don't do anything related to data science, but I feel like doing it in Rust would be nice.
You get operator overloading, so you can have ergonomic matrix operations that are typed also. Processing data on the CPU is fast, and crates like https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu make it very ergonomic to leverage the GPU.
I like this library for creating typed coordinate spaces for graphics programming (https://github.com/servo/euclid), I imagine something similar could be done to create refined types for matrices so you don't do matrix multiplication matrices of invalid sizes

shadertoy-rs

1 61 10.0 Rust

A desktop client for Shadertoy written in Rust

Project mention: Is it technically possible for emulators to apply shaders in different bgs? | /r/emulation | 2023-05-23

Then, as you probably noticed, I also added my not-emulable-games-but-id-still-like-to-have-them-in-there-and-its-pretty. I added PS4, PS5, Switch games manually. Thankfully I don't buy enough of them these days that it becomes a problem to sync. As for launching, well, the TV is plugged to them. Still, they needed to be launchable (otherwise Launchbox is unhappy). What I did was fork shadertoy-rs (https://github.com/fmenozzi/shadertoy-rs). to add capabilities for randomized shaders and displaying a title. All these shaders are animated, look great in fullscreen and serve as a nice little distraction as you start up whatever console. shadertoy-rs also closes on any input, so it's easy to get back to the list. Need to also add automatically the author and the shader name for more flair. The current list of whitelisted shaders that I have on random are (beware, some of them might be a bit cpu intensive):
sdf-viewer
