Get started with Yotsuba Shader
Explore C# shader declarations and the current compiler components.
Before you begin
The source projects target .NET 8. This checkout does not establish the availability of a published, production-ready NuGet package.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| .NET 8 SDK | The solution targets net8.0; global.json asks for SDK 8.0 and rolls forward to the latest minor version. |
| Operating system | macOS, Linux or Windows with a compatible SDK. |
| Git | To clone the repository. |
| SPIRV-Tools (optional) | Provides spirv-val to validate generated modules. |
Explore the current API
Start with the source checkout, its authoring examples, and shader discovery. Complete shader compilation, build-time shader generation, and engine adapters are still in development.
