What are some examples of graphics shaders in C++?

Graphics shaders in C++ can include vertex shaders, fragment shaders, and compute shaders. Would you like to see specific code examples?

Yes, please provide a simple vertex shader example.

Here's a basic vertex shader example:

#version 330 core
layout(location = 0) in vec3 position;

void main() {
    gl_Position = vec4(position, 1.0);
}

This shader transforms vertex positions to clip space.

What about a fragment shader?

Sure! Here's a simple fragment shader example:

#version 330 core
out vec4 color;

void main() {
    color = vec4(1.0, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0); // Orange color
}

This shader outputs a solid orange color.

Can you explain what a compute shader is?

A compute shader is a type of shader that allows for general-purpose computing tasks. It's not limited to graphics and can perform complex calculations on the GPU.
