ShaderToy
A browser community for writing, running, and browsing real-time GLSL shader sketches.
What it is
ShaderToy is a web-based shader editor and gallery. A sketch can use fragment or vertex shaders, receive inputs such as time, resolution, and mouse position, then be shared or embedded.
Why it is selected
It shortens the feedback loop for shader study: edit code, see a real-time result, inspect community work, and share a focused experiment without setting up a project first.
Who it suits
Creative coders, graphics programmers, and web developers learning GLSL.
Useful for
- Practising a fragment shader
- Inspecting a shader’s live inputs
- Sharing a contained visual experiment
