Last week on Corona Geek Hangout 149, Steven Johnson introduced us to creating custom shaders effects in Corona SDK. We explored what shaders are, why we might want to know more about them, and when we should consider using them. We also looked at some shader code examples to see the effects in action. Here are clips from the Hangout....
