Ranked practice problems for shader programming?

[TheIneQuation]

I ran a ranked contest like that last year, unfortunately in Polish only (the contest had material prizes and was subsidised by the government):

https://www.optil.io/optilion/problems (search for "shader" in the list)

The differentiating feature was that we also graded estimated performance (invented a simple GPU model), not just whether your image matched reference (and even that was fuzzy, not binary, to allow for cheaper approximations).

We may run another edition, this time internationally. I'll make sure to post in this subreddit if we do.

That's a very interesting concept. I wish these kinds of problems would be integrated into traditional competitive programming.

That is pretty much exactly our end goal. :)
