Bevy 0.9 preview - accessing time in shaders

[@icesentry]

I'm super happy that you liked this feature, I've also wanted this for a long time. It took a lot longer than I expected to get this merged. I never expected I would see a whole video made on a PR I made 😅

What a coincidence. I was thinking about this when doing shaders in Bevy. Great to see this coming!

Do you know any details on how to access these globale via GLSL? Wgsl is still a bit of a pain for me... but maybe I need to just bite the bullet and learn it.

I don't work with GLSL inside of Bevy unfortunately, so I haven't been keeping up. It unfortunately looks like using wgsl modules from GLSL is currently broken though, according to this comment in the bevy repo: github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/aa489eced0ecfe0de38a9afca5a56c7934b949ab/assets/shaders/custom_material.frag#L13-L15 My suggestion would definitely be to try to work with wgsl as much as possible with Bevy. Support for other shader languages is definitely secondary to wgsl support IMO.

Yeah, dang since I'm coming from GLSL... but will bite the bullet haha. Thank you very much for responding!

I wonder why they chose an hour instead of max value?
