I'm using this app a lot, it's a great prototyping tool, and a good alternative to just use shadertoy in a browser.
There's a couple of features missing, though, and a few usability rough edges:
- no support for float or half textures/render target; this is super important for GPGPU that is not just instagram-like filters and something that would be needed in order to be actually compatible with shadertoy.
- if you have a lot of passes, you can't currently reorder them (or at least I did not find how) and have to resort to workarounds that make everything less understandable
- can you even search/replace in your code?
- going forth and back to/from other editors, it's super annoying that this seems to be the only one not supporting scrolling by just dragging the text - you have to find the small trackbar on the side, which is way to close to KodeLife separator when multitasking on iPad pro
- when working on a file for some time, if you save multiple times, sometimes the original filename is lost and replaced with the default :you have to specify the file name again and override it, and if you have a lot of them it is super error-prone
I still think this is a great app, but it could be perfect with a some ironing :)
If you are into shader art then this is KodeLife for you! I have been following KodeLife since the developers started letting folks test it!
Would love to see a better files integration with the possibility to search files trough directory hierarchies.
My favorite platform for code sketching. Best of all, it wonderfully integrates with the phoneβs photography and video so real world textures can be brought in seamlessly. Has a customizable code editor too so you can made the coding fit your needs.
Wish there were compute shader examples, code includes, and custom texture formats (mostly for HDR), but these are super power user features. For the most of us, this app is the way to go.
KodeLife is very safe to use.
