Bonus #2: Make Fire!
All modern computers are extremely complex systems. Nearly all of them have a part thatâs dedicated to processing graphics: a Graphics Processing Unit or GPU. Any time we programmers can get the GPU to do work is a win because that frees up the Central Processing Unit, or CPU, to perform more game logic.
One of the many things GPUs are good at are âshader particlesââspecial points that can blend into a scene. Regular points, like those we used in the star field, wonât work for shader particles. We need a new kind of point. But first, we have to load a new code collection.
