ShaderToy
A browser community for writing, running, and browsing real-time GLSL shader sketches.
Overview
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 here
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.
Good fit for
Creative coders, graphics programmers, and web developers learning GLSL.
Try it when
- Practising a fragment shader
- Inspecting a shader’s live inputs
- Sharing a contained visual experiment
