Love the project and the spirit of it. Brings be back to playing FFT.

Question to all C/C++ programmers out there. Why are your variables so terse? I have no idea what td and dt mean and why they are both in the same function. I'm genuinely trying to read your code and have no idea what is happening because there is seemingly a desire by the author to keep variables as short as possible. Why?



Don’t go to ShaderToy. You will find a really cool shader and then be disappointed when the code is incomprehensible because whoever wrote it want used one letter variables (starting alphabetically! So x, y, and x coordinates might not even be “x, y, z” but “o, p, q”).


That's so legit.. I just spent 3 hr reading code of shader toy last night at 1 am, all I could do was changing color... And it was in a variable named c1
