    LYGIA, it's a granular and multi-language (GLSL, HLSL, WGSL, MSL and CUDA) shader library designed for performance and flexibility

  • Have you considered GLSL shaders? The syntax is almost like C. But you can write them in real-time, looking at the result in a browser window. And it is relatively easy to build something good-looking following simple examples (mash-up, remix, collage…) There are excellent libraries/frameworks to do creative coding with shaders: https://lygia.xyz Now, for valuable lessons in the art of programming… have you considered teaching them how to write 1KB demos in assembly? :) Just kidding… but I wanted to point out that C has a very very very steep learning curve. Yeah you do get demigod powers if you master it. It takes years even if you’re very motivated, although.

  • InfluxDB
