GLSL Shaders in iOS

[Veda]

Hi, I just noticed that GLSL Shaders is now available in some Daily Builds. Very nice!

I just tried the latest iPhone build but I couldn't find the shaders... Are there some technical limitations in supporting GLSL shaders in iOS builds?

Or it is just a matter of waiting for the official 2.7.0 release?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Our iOS backend is indeed not supporting shaders currently. It uses a different graphics rendering code as ScummVM on other platforms, and I don't think anybody has looked at adding shaders support for it. I don't not know if there are technical limitations or not. But there are practical limitations (finding a developer with the motivation and time to look at this).

So unfortunately the official 2.7.0 iOS release is also very unlikely to have shaders support.

Ok, understood.

Thanks for your reply!

I'm currently implementing to use the OpenGLManager, which is used by other backends, in the iOS port so hopefully shaders will be supported in a near future.

Great! Looking forward to that! Thanks
