I haven’t forgotten about the Live Shader Editor! I’ve had a really busy week and haven’t been able to work on it much, but you can check out the progress here: github.com/leftbones/li...

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Feeling hella unmotivated the last few days, hopefully that feeling passes.

Yesterday I started working on a live shader editor for #Godot, if that's something you're interested in, let me know!

Fellas, is it morally justifiable to log off?

New updates to the Live Shader Editor! Now you can load images for sampler2d uniforms and uniforms with 'hint_range' get a slider in the UI -- Now you can finally project a picture of Walt Disney with a gun onto a 3D cube!

Link to the project repo in my bio!

my Live Shader Editor program showing the uniform properties UI, this time there is a picture of Walt Disney firing a gun projected onto the preview cube, which I loaded using the new UniformTextureInput node I made!

Got more of the parameter adjustment UI implemented, the only one of these that doesn't work yet is the texture picker, but that's up next! You can tweak all of these values in the UI without needing to recompile the code each time.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you’re getting angry with your young child because they are boring or annoying, something I found extremely helpful is to draw a curly mustache on them with eyeliner pencil. Then what, you’re mad at a little circus acrobat? A miniature old-timey strongman?

Got the super basic uniform parser implemented, right now I've just added the uniform info as labels to the UI to show that it works. Next is to create interactive UI elements to modify those values on the fly.

I've decided that a lexer/parser is too much work and I'm going to do it the (hopefully) quick and dirty way lol

Having to write an entire lexer/parser to extract the default value of shader uniforms literally all because #Godot doesn't let you access those values unless they're EXPLICITLY set by the user is super annoying

What kinds of features would you want to see in a live shader editor for #Godot? I want to hear your suggestions! I also need help deciding what to call this thing… the link to the repo is in my bio!

I've created a repo for the live shader editor I've been working on this weekend, follow for updates or hey you can contribute too, that'd be cool!

Apparently there's no way to get the default value of a shader uniform in #Godot unless you first set it in the editor or in code with `set_shader_parameter`, which means I now have to write a parser that can get the values directly from the code. I even poked around in the RenderingServer. Nothing.

I've added some mediocre syntax highlighting to the live shader editor... looking for volunteers to redo these colors for me as I'm severely colorblind and this looks terrible lol

Microsoft is so fucking stupid.

Microsoft renamed Microsoft Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot App

I'm not joking
