Game/Graphics systems/concepts learned

Vertex and Pixel Shaders

A vertex shader is a graphics processing function used to add special effects to objects in a 3D environment by performing mathematical operations on the objects' vertex data.
A Pixel Shader is a graphics function that calculates effects on a per-pixel basis.

Shader structs and utilities

Vertex and Pixel Shader sample

Dev Console

A working dev console that accepts input, has a blinking insertion point, and allows executed commands from a history of previous commands.
