It’s been too long since I posted a screenshot. Lucky that I’ve been working on something interesting to look at! Here’s the output of my very first VectorStorm virtual shader. Inside the simulated VectorStorm hardware, shaders are enabled inside the display list; when you enable a shader, the rest of the display list is passed…
So I’ve been thinking a little about what I want to do in the future, and have picked out a few possibilities. I’m very interested in implementing “shaders” for the VectorStorm virtual hardware. These wouldn’t be OpenGL shaders (we already use one of those for the bloom effect, and there’s a disabled one for the…
