Yeah this planet collector app looks really, really nice! I'm impressed.

And well done on the tool. Honestly so curious what algos you used to optimize this so well. ๐
(I skim text often, so will go back and see if you talk about it)

Wow very cool.
Am making a game right now and was struggling yesterday while I was listening to a video Spotify Podcast ๐
Everything I'm doing is running on CPU so kinda makes sense.
Do you know any good places to start when it comes to learning shaders / GPU, esp from a javascript perspective? Very curious to hear back from you. :)
Sure, shaders can be a bit difficult at first to understand. It's a lot of math and they function quite differently from CPU code. I don't think it matters too much if you know javascript or some other language, as most shaders use either GLSL or HLSL anyway.
A really good tool if you're first getting into shaders is the book of shaders: https://thebookofshaders.com/00/
