Converting a Shader from pure GLSL?

Post by Andynonomous »

Hi guys, I'm just starting to learn how to use shaders and hope to learn eventually to write my own shaders, but for now my question is this:

Is it generally possible to convert any glsl shader effect into one that will work with LOVE? Or are there some cases where converting a shader to a LOVE compatible one is not feasible?

The shader I'm specifically curious about is this one: https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4dXGR4

I'd appreciate any advice anyone could offer. Thanks!

the shadertoy-like shaders (fragment only) should always be convertable, but other ones might not be because we can't set the whole vertex info (only x, y, u, v and color)

Code: Select all

print( type(love) )
if false then
  baby:hurt(me)
end

Thanks! I just didn't want to spend time trying to learn to convert it if it wasn't going to be possible in the end. Thanks again and wish me luck!
