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.
