Boring Friday night in? Looking for some hot, esoteric programming challenges? Give my "Low-Rez Shadertoy: The Game" a go!

Write shaders in some made up assembly language, match your target, win prizes*

This is an alpha version and I'm looking for feedback. Please boost/share, thanks!

@evilpaul_atebit It'd be cool if it showed you which level you're on while you're in the level? Unless that is somewhere and I'm missing it.

I only did the first 8 levels but doing World 2 level 4 in three instructions was very satisfying.

@JoshGrams @evilpaul_atebit I went to bed thinking any fewer than 5 was obviously impossible and woke up and banged out the 3-instruction version in like 2 minutes. so satisfying, yes.

Was "fewer than 22 instructions" meant to be "fewer than 12 instructions"?

@jcreed @evilpaul_atebit I'm still slightly annoyed that these first two diamond ones are 33 pixel diamonds, so you can't get 100% with a diagonal grid and a bitmask, because that's fun and elegant.

@jcreed @evilpaul_atebit Also multiplication is fun if you haven't seen that yet. Trying to think what other shader tricks are fun...
