Shader Class

Constructor

Shader(const char* vertexPath, const char* fragmentPath)

Creates a new Shader object with the specified vertex and fragment shader file paths.

Parameters:

• vertexPath: The file path of the vertex shader.
• fragmentPath: The file path of the fragment shader.

Member Functions

void use()

Sets the current shader as the active shader.

void setInt(const std::string& name, int value) const

Sets an integer uniform value in the shader.

Parameters:

• name: The name of the uniform variable.
• value: The integer value to set.

void setFloat(const std::string& name, float value) const

Sets a float uniform value in the shader.

Parameters:

• name: The name of the uniform variable.
• value: The float value to set.

void setMat4(const std::string& name, const float* value) const

Sets a 4x4 matrix uniform value in the shader.

Parameters:

• name: The name of the uniform variable.
• value: A pointer to the array representing the matrix value.

void setVec2(const std::string& name, float x, float y) const

Sets a 2D vector uniform value in the shader.

Parameters:

• name: The name of the uniform variable.
• x: The x component of the vector.
• y: The y component of the vector.

void setVec3(const std::string& name, float x, float y, float z) const

Sets a 3D vector uniform value in the shader.

Parameters:

• name: The name of the uniform variable.
• x: The x component of the vector.
• y: The y component of the vector.
• z: The z component of the vector.
