Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands. This code no longer runs in the CPU, in fact it runs on the GPU! This process is done in the fragment program (pixel shader in DirectX terminology).

Shaders are programs that describe the traits of vertices and pixels. In other words, via shaders, you can set and change the way the computer renders the meshes. It also prepares the data (like the UVs) that will be used next by the Pixel Shader. The Pixel Shader runs once per each pixel and renders your object.

Principle Since it’s an outer stroke, it doesn’t occupy the pixels of the original image to draw the edges. Remember the previous article, where we used the image’s Alpha to find edges, determining whether there were pixels with Alpha of 0 around the image. First, we get the uv of the surrounding pixel through the offset uv.
