So glad to hear it! They're a lot of fun :)

Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful!

Maybe a little bit of both :) It's certainly easy once you know a bit of shader programming, but without that knowledge shaders can be a real mystery!

@@BarneyCodes i am still wondering why nobody did this explanation before. Life saver!

That sounds awesome! Shaders are a great thing to add to your toolbelt, good on you for figuring it out!

Sorry I glossed over it, I was focusing on the fragment shader in this video and just mentioned the vertex stuff so that you'd be aware it's there! The reason behind this maths is to do with converting the vertex positions between different "spaces". The initial vertex position passed on is in "model space" which is the vertex's position within the model which goes between 0 and 1. The final output into gl_Position is in "clip space" which goes between -1 and 1. The *2 - 1 maps the position from the 0-1 range of model space into the -1 to 1 range of clip space! If you're using transforms and a camera to view a scene, and want to view the geometry in its "proper" location, you instead have to convert from model space, into world space, then into the clip space, which is done using matrices that contain the transform and camera information, which is what I do later in the video to make the sphere show up :) Hopefully that answers your question! Let me know if you've got any follow up questions! I haven't gone into detail about the matrices here because this comment is getting quite long already and there'll be resources out there that can explain it a lot better than I can! (Learn OpenGL is a great, free resource if you want to read more about it!)

Glad you enjoyed it! I found shaders were basically a doorway into a whole new world of cool program stuff. Have fun!

Glad you found it useful! They're incredibly useful, and this video only just scratches the surface, have fun!

What error are you getting?

I used the online p5js editor (linked in the description) for it, but I think you can get it working in VS Code if you install certain plugins, it's not something I've done though so I can't give you specific advice sorry!

Glad you found it useful, swizzling is a great word haha

No worries, glad you enjoyed it!

@@awkov I'll have to check out sonic colours, I love the idea of the material combo! Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful :)

Thanks, glad you found it useful!

Thanks so much! Your project sounds like a lot of fun, I hope this helps in some way. Feel free to ask any questions :)

No worries, glad you found it helpful!

For me personally, I wanted to keep this video mostly about the fragment shader, so the vertex shader, where those transformations are happening, is out of scope. I mentioned it so that people would be aware that it's there and can have a place to start from if they want to find out more!

Thanks! I think originally shaders were intended to be for just that, adding lighting calculations to 3D scenes, thus shading the rendered image. Overtime though they became a lot more versatile and used for so many various things to the point that, like you say, "shading" really no longer fits what shaders are capable of doing!

You can! Instead of having an array of the drop objects, you can have a few arrays that store information, like position and velocity. They all need to be the same length, and that way you can get all the information for a drop by looking at your arrays in the same location (eg the first drops position would be positions[0] and it's velocity would be velocities[0], etc). That way you can have 1 function to update, which iterates over all the drop information, and another to draw which goes over all the positions and uses your function to draw the shape at the location of every drop! Hope that helps!

He's truly a gem, so grateful that he's shared so much of his knowledge with us!

No worries!

Thanks mate! It's a bit of fun haha

😂😂 Thank you for the reminder hahaha

Not sure I understand sorry 😅 The looping I'm doing is through the image that stores the particle information (not the entire screen!), so I can get the location of each particle, and then I just colour in the pixel on the screen that corresponds to that particle's location :) I think the ultimate way to do the drawing better would be with either a geometry shader or vertex shader that can read the texture with the particle information, might be something I look into in the future!

Hope it's helpful! Let me know if you've got any questions :)

Thanks so much, glad you found it useful! :)

No worries at all, glad you found it useful!

Probably a good idea 😅 I was loosely basing it off that, but not very accurately (ie capacitor doubles since it stores power, resistor halves because it reduces current, the lo/hi pass filter icons are somewhat based on diodes). I'm sure I'll tweak them in the future, but to start with I wanted to make them visually distinct from the other components which look like ICs Your list of components is very helpful :) I think some of those might make an appearance! Thanks so much for the comment!

There'll be a bit more involved with getting Minecraft shaders set up I would imagine, but this should be a good starting point for the information you'll need! I'm planning on making some Minecraft shaders in the future though, which should be fun :)

I've not actually tried to do this myself, but I believe there are methods of "unwrapping" the surface of a sphere into 2D coordinates. You can either map it to the full rectangle (like a how a map is a rectangular version of the surface of the earth), which will have some distortion to it, or you can probably do a more accurate version, that would have gaps, which might make it difficult to do seamlessly. If you've got a noise generation function you could probably do it seamlessly by using the 3D point on the surface to sample 3D noise and guarantee that it's seamless? Might be worth playing around with a few different solutions and seeing what they look like!

I think factorio is basically the perfect example of NEEDING to make your own engine because it's doing something super unique (just like the example I gave in the video of Noita etc)

No worries at all, glad you found it useful!

Thanks, yeah haha I've learnt my lesson about the music! Thanks for the feedback :)

In the update function on the player, you can check the mouseIsPressed variable. If it's true you can set the mvmt vector to 0 before it's added to the x and y position of the player!

Sure, you just overlay a new rect with a color like 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2)'! The opacity causes a slowly fading out! Enjoy and much fun!😉😁 EDIT: Of course fired by the mouse event 'mouseup', and this for some animation frame iterations...

I love this technique, thanks for the comment!
