During this work session\, you’ll be able to brainstorm ideas\, experiment with GLSL\, get feedback\, and refine your entry alongside other participants\, all in a super collaborative environment.  \n\n\n\nIn September\, we’ll showcase the submissions and announce the winners. Entries will be judged by Hackforge leadership and staff. \n\n\n\nPlease note that all entries are subject to our Code of Conduct.For full information\, rules\, and eligibility\, please visit the competition webpage. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re interested in graphics programming\, creative coding\, or simply making cool things on your screen\, Shader Playground is a fun\, low-pressure way to explore the power of the GPU.  \n\n\n\nNo prior graphics experience is required\, just bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment. \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll take away: \n\n\n\n\nHands-on experience writing GPU-based pixel shaders in GLSL and creating interactive visual effects.\n\n\n\nA deeper understanding of how graphics programming leverages massively parallel execution.\n\n\n\nA start on a shader you can submit to the competition\, along with new creative coding techniques you can apply to future projects (including Global Game Jam).\n\n\n\n\n📆 August 14th🕦 7-9 PM📍Hackforge HQ (300 Ouellette Ave.\, Unit 210) & Online via Zoom💬 Interest Group: General🎟️ RSVP for Zoom Here👥 RSVP in Person Below
