ShadowDusk.ShaderToy

A pure-managed, zero-native converter that turns a ShaderToy (or plain-GLSL) fragment shader into a self-contained HLSL .fx source you can compile for MonoGame, KNI, or FNA.

It accepts both entry conventions and auto-detects them (no flag): a ShaderToy void mainImage(out vec4 fragColor, in vec2 fragCoord) shader, and a plain-GLSL void main() fragment shader that writes gl_FragColor / a user-declared out vec4 and reads gl_FragCoord. Unsupported constructs fail loudly with a located diagnostic (line/column) rather than producing a silently-wrong .fx.

This package is standalone and optional — it is not part of ShadowDusk's faithful mgfxc-replacement pipeline, and ShadowDusk.Compiler does not depend on it. Install it when you want to convert ShaderToy/GLSL shaders in-process (e.g. a web shader fiddle or an in-app importer). To then compile the resulting .fx, use ShadowDusk.Compiler (in-process library) or ShadowDusk.Cli (the ShadowDuskCLI tool, which also accepts .glsl input directly).

Usage

using ShadowDusk.ShaderToy;

ConvertResult result = ShaderToyConverter.Convert(glslSource);

if (result.Success)
{
    string fx = result.Fx!;          // self-contained HLSL .fx source
    // result.UsedUniforms lists the ShaderToy built-ins (iTime, iChannel0, …)
    // plus any custom uniforms the shader drives each frame.
}
else
{
    foreach (ConvertDiagnostic d in result.Diagnostics)
        Console.Error.WriteLine($"{d.Severity} ({d.Line},{d.Column}): {d.Message}");
}

A batch multipass entry point (MultipassConverter.Convert) converts a ShaderToy multi-tab export (Buffer A-D + Image) into one .fx per pass plus a machine-readable wiring manifest; you drive the render graph yourself with MonoGame render targets (the converter accepts the syntax, it is not a ShaderToy runtime).
