GLSL Shader Loader

Shared Code
#1

Hi

I don’t know how helpful this code is to other users, but here is a small utility class that helps in loading and running shader programs. I don’t do much with shaders, so its largely untested, but as the code is mostly pinched from reliable sources, here :slight_smile:

Why do you use the ARB extension when you are having it since 2.x version of OpenGL itself? Does it offer any advantages than the integrated ones?

#3

SHC is right, you should be using OpenGL 2.0 instead of the ARB extension.
Also, it is highly recommended to delete your shaders after you linked your shaderprogram. :slight_smile:

Hi

I took PandaMoniumHUN and SHC’s advice, and I updated the github file :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing this with us.

However, am I missing something or won’t sending anything but four floats to the “sendFloats” function cause an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException?

#6

Hi

I added a few [icode]break;[/icode] statements to the switch statements so that the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException isn’t thrown.
