A native, high-performance GLSL live-coding engine written in Rust.

shadecore is designed to function as a live-coded visual instrument, where shaders, control mappings, and output routing remain mutable during execution.

Supported outputs

FBO texture (local window)
Syphon (macOS)
Spout2 (Windows)
FFmpeg streaming (RTSP / RTMP)
NDI (separate execution mode)
