Shader Playground

A Rust + OpenGL based graphics playground. Exercise in raw graphics/OpenGL programming and attempt to learn Rust.

This is currently targeting gl-rs in order to deepen my knowledge of the OpenGL C API, and loosely using OGL Modern OpenGL programming to guide feature development, but adapting for Rust and personal goals.

Plans

• Camera control via buttons and mouse
• Load vertex and fragment shaders from files.
• Watch shader files for changes and recompile on the fly.
• Scene support (either multiple OBJ files or GLTF loader).

Usage

Run with cargo run.

Controls

• WASD to move
  • W/S move towards/away from target/direction
  • A/D move left/right in the XZ plane
• Q to lock/unlock view from target (currently only the cube).
• Mouse to move view direction when unlocked

Building

Build with cargo build
