I don't know how it happened, but somehow I've finally clicked with shaders.
The project I'm working on at the moment has been quite challenging and more often that not these days, I get the inspiration to solve the issue with a shader.
My current project is already using several shaders, which are either for procedural generation or real-time.

I've just made my first practical vertex oriented shader where I can basically crop an object rendering on a world axis (e.g. clip it on the horizon). While I was all giddy about it, I even put an alpha fade on the crop with no drama.

So my question is, I find myself with at least 4 copies of notepad open editing shaders / looking at other shaders.
Is there a decent editor / workflow / debugger for shader writing? I have used shadertoy before, but if you want to use AppGameKit variables, it's not much use.

Maybe try SHADERed, I haven't tried it much but seems to be verry usable.
Just found you can create agk's and custom uniforms:

I have wanted to try shaders for some time.

But I don't know how to start and where.

I recently purchased ShaderTool on steam. Node based, which supports hlsl and glsl. Or there in Shadergraph in Unity , also node based.
