Today's 'Compile time' reading: "The Making of Prince of Persia: Journals 1985-1993" by Jordan Mechner. Still remember seeing the unbelievable animation for the first time on the (now ancient) machine at home. Insights straight from the developer's notes. Essential!

TouchOSC MIDI & OSC control surface update out now! Today we've got something for the coders: 'Shared Scripts' to share common blocks of code between controls, making it easier to organize complex projects. If you're in the 'vibe' camp, we're looking into making that easier as well. More soon...

Hm. Not very long. Editors like shadertoy and Kodelife make it pretty trivial to get set up, and Claude can teach you whatever you need. Is the person you? Have they ever touched non-shader code in the extended C/C++ family? Rendering a julia/mandelbrot would take sub-5 minutes and like 15 LOC
