Post by Ikroth »

Shaderview
GitHub | Issue Tracker | Changelog

Shaderview is a desktop application for developing GLSL shaders using Lua, LÖVE2D, and GLSL. It features integrated debug tools, hot reloading, and compilation error handling.

Shaderview is under active development and I am looking for feedback, advice, and bug reports.

I've used shaderview extensively before, and I really recommend it to anyone who wants to test out shaders, play with existing ones, or create new ones.
I like to use it if I want to create a new shader to add to a game I'm working on before adding it to the project. The auto reloading and error catching makes it a lot more fun to work on shaders, without having to worry about getting the shader to work right while it's tangled up in a large project.

The app code is structured so that you can develop like you normally would, so what you make in shaderview can be transfered to a larger project with minimum friction.

Aside from that, it's a great environment for small visual projects, even if shaders aren't the focus.

Here is something I made in shaderview:
