ShaderToy

ShaderToy is an online platform where creators can write and share custom visual effects called shaders, which are small programs that generate real-time graphics. Using a programming language based on OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL), artists craft dynamic visuals that can simulate phenomena like flowing water, abstract patterns, or cosmic scenes. Viewers can see these effects immediately in their web browsers, often interacting with them. ShaderToy serves as both a showcase for creative coding and an educational resource, allowing users to learn about computer graphics by exploring and modifying existing shaders in an accessible environment.
