I wanted to demonstrate how you can add lines of code to your blog posts (as unformatted text) using a  plugin called syntax highlighter. This will help you distinguish your reflections on your code from the code itself. It’s also much easier to read!

Begin your code block with [programming-language] and end your code block with [/programming-language] (note the “/” before the name of the language). For javascript, use “js” in the square brackets. If you’re sharing GLSL code, the plugin doesn’t recognize GLSL, so use “c” instead.

//this is javascript code
print("hello world");

// create a color
vec4 myColor = vec4(1.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0);

// mix two colors
vec4 mixResult = mix( vec4(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0), vec4(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0), 0.5);

You can use the preview function of WordPress to test it out on your own posts before publishing.

Welcome to the 2021 Shader Art blog. This is a space for you to share your weekly shader sketches (aka your homework) with the me & your fellow students.

Every week, you’re expected to share one of your sketches on this blog. Posts can be in the form of still images, animated GIFs, relevant excerpts of shader code and, of course, personal reflections on your submitted work. You’re encouraged to leave comments and ask questions of one another (this will be a part of the participation grade).

Looking forward to this space filling up with very shiny images.
