Writing compute shaders for godot compositor effects has been pretty tiresome so I spent the past few days thinking about and writing an interpreter for a wrapper language for glsl compute shaders to allow multiple kernels in one shader file Since the godot shader compiler assumes the entry function is named 'main', you cannot have different kernels defined in one file and instead must have separate shader files for each. This means effects like the difference of gaussians would need 10 different files, which isn't very fun to navigate. So now with my little interpreter it'll automatically translate a given compute shader file into all those separate files to be compiled. Here's what a basic separable blur compute shader file looks like woww (def not inspired by unity)
