I discovered shaderpark and thought it was seriously neat! In the past i have tried exploring shader programming for random projects cause i was anyway exploring livecoding music and they kinda go together but i was totally overwhelmed by the OpenGL like libraries cause they looked so complex, i stuck with p5js to make small projects and that’s it but now after looking at shaderpark and the ease at which it abstracts some of the things i feel like its gonna be a lot of fun using it for visual livecoding!!
I do not know why but I really wanted to make the Bagel from Everything Everywhere All at Once

// Rotate so the Bagel is facing me and not up
rotateX(Math.PI/2);
// Space cause duh
let s = getSpace();
// Black
color(0,0,0)
// One Donut
torus(0.7, 0.4 + 0.1*noise(s*2.0 + time));
// To mix the geometries
mixGeo(0.9)
// Some Shiny
reflectiveColor(vec3(.3))
// Another Donut
torus(0.7, 0.9 + 0.1*noise(s*2.0));
// & Behold
// The modern day symbol of Nihilsm: a fucking black bagel
Another sick tool i use as a backdrop for the livecoding videos i record is https://hydra.ojack.xyz/
