Folklore is a language that speaks tales.

It follows node-based paradigm, ensures graphics context and is easy to embed.

Each node consists of a set of inputs, outputs and execution logic.

A node supports CPU and GPU executin logic. Folklore compiles into host native code and GPU shaders.

The goal

Folklore was designed to run PixiEditor Node Graphs outside PixiEditor. However, it's design is application-agnostic and the aim of the language is to be able to easily create GPU-accelerated graphics without the struggle.

Folklore node concept

input num someNum;
output painter result;

num scale;

// on node execute
void execute()
{
    num x = 4;
    num y = 10;
    scale = x + y;
}

// result draw func
result_paint(gpu_ctx)
{
    gpu_ctx.drawCircle(0, 0, scale, scale);
}
