Slick Forums

I have added a new class that allows for shader support using ARB and OpenGL. Previously SlickShader only supported OpenGL, so this is an obvious step up. It still needs to be tested however.

This has yet to be pushed to the development branch. Just checking with everyone if it's ok. As far as crashing the build stage goes, the code compiles fine, it just has to be tested to know it performs its functions.

EDIT: I HAVE FOUND THE SOURCE CODE. Sadly school is tomoz, and I need sleep. I will finalise and push to dev branch when done.

Take your time, Liam. It would be cool if you could also add a (simple) testcase to avoid that the other devs have to do the initial bug phase without knowing where to get started...

Thanks,
Tommy

I agree. A simple test would be very helpful, both from a testing standpoint and an informative standpoint (for the many people who don't understand shaders). pekhe has a shader example you might be able to use if you ask him.

P.S.: Thanks for making a shader class.

Liam!
Please consider implementing a ShaderLoader just like the TextureLoader or SoundStore This way we keep the "don't load the same stuff twice" thingi. I hope you know what I mean. If you load a Shader the ShaderLoader should load the Shader and save the ressource path in a hash map to avoid loading an compiling to shaders with the same path. The Shader should have a "Shader Interface" or just the id.

Also if we really implement this, let's also add some basic shaders and more then one testCase. Shaders are something you need to leanr the hard way... sadly :/ Maybe a toon Shader or something. I could try one as soon as the Implementation is online! (I have to try my idea of a toon shader... it will be a fragment based shader, using a light source and stuff xD).
Blur/Sharpen and Emboss are something we should add to.

Also davedes has opened some issues with textures for off screen images. We should add a test where we explain how to use the FBO-Buffer for Post-Processing imho!

Anyway, awesome work Liam!
