I made a shadertoy version of the 4 kilobyte intro I made for Revision 2024! The sound is also made with shader so for the first time one of my intro can run entirely on shadertoy, I'm so happy for that!

@nusan how does sound work in shaders? There must be a way to pipe the data into the soundcard…?

@root42 the idea is super simple, you use a shader to render your sound into a texture, each pixel represent a sound sample, and it's then read back to the cpu and copied into the sound buffer. Using a texture format with two float channels makes it directly compatible with a sound buffer!

@nusan that is pretty straightforward indeed.
