Hello vertex attributes

Combining shader programming and user interaction through vertex attributes.

Hello World program in GLSL

How to send input to a shader program by saving data in GPU memory.

<script type="x-shader/x-vertex" id="vertex-shader">

attribute float position;

void main() {
  gl_Position = vec4(position, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0);
  gl_PointSize = 64.0;
}

#version 100
precision mediump float;
void main() {
  gl_FragColor = vec4(0.18, 0.54, 0.34, 1.0);

window.addEventListener("beforeunload", cleanup, true);
function cleanup() {
  gl.useProgram(null);
  if (buffer)
    gl.deleteBuffer(buffer);
