Fun with compute shaders - asteroids entirely on gpu

Hey

If anybody is looking for some example code in compute, I recently put online the 2nd in my 'making asteroids entirely on comptue shaders' series. Whilst a bit silly, it has some fun examples of advanced use of compute shaders, including procedural rendering and indirect dispatch:

Enjoy

 

Love it!

Doing sound from GPU code made me laugh too, you're a nutter, but I just have to follow your work now.

 

Bah, that's not doing sound from the GPU, this is doing sound from the GPU!

That uses the GPU to write out the waveform data into a texture, which is read back to the CPU and passed to the sound device. There are no audio files used. It'd be closer to how the original arcade did the audio too if you have to write it out by hand, though in that case the sounds were hand-wired into the cabinet.
