An introductory guide to creating generative art using GLSL shaders and Shadertoy.
In this tutorial, I explore the fascinating realm of shader art coding and aim to offer helpful insights and guidance to assist you in beginning your own creative journey. I hope to share my passion with you along the way!

On “"Impressive" projects in C?”

So, let me get this straight: you want to impress a person who knows nothing about programming, with a program written in C. And you believe that these people only get impressed with fancy multi-colored UIs. Right?
Well, you can write a shader program with OpenGL in pure C:

Which of course, can become a full-featured game engine, like raylib.
> Are there any projects that I can make in C
Well, there it is. Good luck.
