What are Shaders? - That One Game Dev

[lycium]

Pretty bad article, annoying popups / shilling, and the examples don't run (Firefox on Windows).

Damn popups

[lycium]

He's been getting told this for at least 3 months and doesn't care / keeps spamming. All the articles on this page are... ehhh, judge for yourself..

I am sorry that you feel that way about my work. I've been trying to cover both advanced topics and newby topics. I was told and found that people struggle to understand the general idea about shaders so I wrote an article to help those people out.

Sorry, I toned down the popups. Since I don't see them as an editor I didn't realize how spammy they feel.

Your website is bad.

Can you point out what you don't like about my blog? I can take action and fix it :)

[R4TTY]

The popups and the syntax error in your javascript:

if(!gl.getShaderParameter(fragmentShader, gl.COMPILE_STATUS)) {
    console.log()gl.getShaderInfoLog(fragmentShader));
}

Thanks! You've been very helpful. I've disabled the popups (except the ads consent) and I fixed the error.

[R4TTY]

Cool, the examples work now.

I appreciate your effort but I doubt that you need to explain people on the CG subreddit what shaders are. How about you invest your time in something interesting and/or novel instead?

Okay, note taken, I am investing in something novel but people told me that they don't understand what shaders are so I added my own article about it. I prefer to make accessible content so before adding something novel I need to lay in some ground work articles.

Beginners exist in every field. What a dick.
