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. Our sprite is 32x32 pixels in size, and it must be drawn at some position.

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.

For example, a shader can use warp shuffle instructions to exchange data between threads in a warp without going through shared memory, which is especially valuable in pixel shaders where there is no shared memory. Or a shader can perform atomic additions on half-precision floating-point numbers in global memory.
