# Bonzomatic To Shadertoy

Python script to convert bonzomatic glsl fragment shaders to use them on shadertoy.com

## Usage

- Place your shader.glsl file in the folder

- Execute BonzomaticToShadertoy.bat

- In a command line, you can also specify the name of the shader file: "BonzomaticToShadertoy.bat filename.glsl"

- Open the shader.webgl file that has been created in a text editor

- Copy-paste the code into a new shader on shadertoy.com

## Limitations

- As Bonzomatic textures are not present in Shadertoy, the tool just give each a different channels and you have to assign textures in shadertoy yourself

- FFT textures are currently assigned to a different channel each

- Using previous frame texture will just be assigned to a texture channel, in Shadertoy you need to put your shader in "Buffer A" instead of Image so you can sample the previous frame

- float numbers are rounded to 4 digits, because otherwise the tool would output weird numbers like 0.199999998

- intermediary variables are often inserted before function calls

- if you use "half" as a variable name, it will cause issues

## Todo

- Better FFT handling

- Option to generate a json for importing with "Shadertoy unofficial plugin"

- replace texNoise with a call to a perlin noise function

- maybe replacing python by an exe tool so it can be autonomous

- fixing weird float numbers inside glslangValidator/spirv-cross source code instead of afterward

- fixing intermediary variables inserted before function calls

## How it works

- Use glslangValidator (github.com/KhronosGroup/glslang) to convert glsl to a spirv shader

- Use spriv-cross (github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Cross) to convert the spirv shader back to webgl-ready code

- Use python to replace part of the code to adapt the Bonzomatic shader to Shadertoy

    - replace input variables (pixel coordinates, resolution, time, main function name)

    - remove useless lines (texture definitions, version, highp)

    - round floats to 4 digits (glslangValidator/spirv-cross generate weird numbers)

    - assign textures to shadertoy channels
