GLSL Compiler

A GLSL compiler is a tool that transforms shader code written in the GLSL language into instructions that a graphics card's hardware can execute. Think of it as a translator that converts human-readable code into a machine-specific language to efficiently render visual effects in 3D graphics. This process ensures that complex visual calculations, like lighting and shading, are performed quickly and accurately during a game or application. The compiler checks for errors, optimizes performance, and prepares the shader for real-time rendering, enabling smooth and realistic visuals.
