Shaders: How to draw high fidelity graphics with just x and y coordinates

1. wgshadertoy

   1 4 122 8.3 Rust

   A WGSL playground inspired by Shadertoy.

   

   Had a look in Mint's software manager and found this (flatpak): https://github.com/fralonra/wgshadertoy

3. Bonzomatic

   2 2 1,500 3.7 C++

   Live shader coding tool and Shader Showdown workhorse

   

   There's also bonzomatic which the demo scene uses for shader programming live coding competitions:

4. DirectXShaderCompiler

   3 36 3,625 9.6 C++

   This repo hosts the source for the DirectX Shader Compiler which is based on LLVM/Clang.

   

   DirectX also suffers from it, to a lesser degree. There are important HLSL intrinsics that are vendor-dependent ( https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/wiki/Wave... or https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvapi/blob/main/nvHLSLExtns.h ).

   Microsoft used to be more proactive. It pressured vendors to have rough feature parity with each other and then released the "harmonized" baseline as the next DirectX version. But as with many things, Microsoft dropped the ball there. The most recent DirectX revision is more than 4 years old, and it doesn't look like there's going to be a new one any time soon.

   The only truly unified API is Metal, for obvious reasons.

5. nvapi

   NVAPI is NVIDIA's core software development kit that allows direct access to NVIDIA GPUs and drivers on supported platforms.
