Shaderly is real-time OpenGL ES 2.0 shader editor. It runs on SpriteKit SKShader, so all shaders you made with Shaderly can be used later in your SpriteKit projects. Great tool for prototyping effects and for making generative art. I hope this app is useful to you. The app was born as a result of the desire to continue working on my game while sitting in a bomb shelter without my computer. And now I'm creating it for you. Features: • Code highlighting • Live preview (resizable, fullscreen, picture-in-picture) • Save and share shader video or snapshot • Shader Thumbnails • Shader Previews
