A game in a texture. Pebble Devlog #1 - Compute Shader Game
A discussion of my work in progress game, Pebble, and how it's written. It's a 2D Falling Sand Cellular Automaton implemented in a compute shader. The vast majority of this project is written in HLSL, but a few core components are in a C# script.
