Overview
MAIN CREDIT: BarneyCodes - editor.p5js.org sketch and related [YouTube explainer video on Game-of-Life shader][barneycodes-youtube-gol].
This is a refactored version of BarneyCodes’ Game of Life shader example Notable modifications
- Uses p5.Graphics in WEBGL mode, rather than setting the full canvas to WEBGL … this avoids having to handle the fact that WEBGL puts x,y 0,0 at the center of the canvas … thought process is that it will allow for use of other code that expects a 2D canvas
- Uses more verbose variable names and adds comments for clarity … Personally I find a lot of the GL shader code hard to read to be overly terse … so uses ‘cells’ as name of Uniform passed from p5j.js context into the shader … TBD if I’m breaking GL best practices by using more verbose variable names
