About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. The following OpenGL code sends the sprite to the shader for drawing: OpenGL Commands.

Technically, you can use shader atomic increments to account for all the rays on each frame if needed. This can be partially achieved using a bindless resource model where all required resources are available directly from the shader code on GPU without explicit CPU-side bindings.
