This is a program for various pixel toys. It currently has luajit for pixel operations and opengl for various shader play.
- Luajit engine for easy and fast scripting
- Auto file reload on modification for very easy use - just have pixel dance and text editor open and see how you changes change the view
- Opengl for shader-based rendering
- Easy modification with c-like source
- Imgui that is exposed to lua for easy gui creation and even faster iteration
Run pixeldance.exe <path to project folder> and select lua project from dropdown.
Stuff in projects folder is everchanging mess of lua that does all the magic. things that end in .llib is not auto-loaded and displayed in dropdown but can be required by lua - thus lua-libs.
Some old stuff is not working or not-recommended way of doing stuff but mostly updated and played with are:
- ecology series - a small ecology sims
- slimemold - slime mold sim inspired by this page
- crystals - an interpretation of this page but a very loose one
- IFS_shader - a fractal/fractal flame generator
Get SFML, luajit, DearImgui, Cmake and your favorite compiler. Modify CMake to point to libs, make, build and enjoy.
Currently only windows are supported but pull-req are welcome.
