Papertoy: run a Shadertoy shader as an animated Wayland wallpaper
Hacker NewsPapertoy: run a Shadertoy shader as an animated Wayland wallpaper
Hi HN! This is a project I did a while back in a late night coding session to learn about Wayland and how it works with EGL/OpenGL. You can give it a path to a GLSL shader that expects the Shadertoy API (uniforms/inputs etc.) and it will render it to the Wayland display of your choice. Try it out and let me know what you think!
