SharpShaders is a library that allows you to write GPU shader code in F#.

Why write shaders in F#?

Shader translation using code quotations ####Examples

• Basic Gouraud Shader
• Blinn Phong Shader
• Bump Shader using Perlin noise

####Future Work

• Runtime code compilation
  • It should be possible to edit an F# shader and immediately see the result at runtime (if the changed shader compiles of course)
• Dynamic Shader Linking
  • The Dynamic attribute on shader functions should indicate that this function can be swapped at runtime

[<Dynamic>]
let marble = ...
[<Dynamic>]
let lumpy = ...
[<Dynamic>]
let crinkled = ...

let mutable surface = marble

[<PixelShader>]
member m.crinkled(input:PSInput) =
    surface input

At runtime the surface shader can be swapped:

ps.surface <- ps.crinkled
