Lygia support

[patriciogonzalezvivo]

Hi! Would you be interested on bringing support for lygia.xyz?

Using include macros like

#include "lygia/math/const.glsl"
#include "lygia/color/space.glsl"

it will help users to keep their code extra short.

There is several ways to full fill those dependencies, the easiest is through this functions that just fetch them for you https://lygia.xyz/resolve.js

You code editor can even autocomplete their functions using this request https://lygia.xyz/glsl.json

I apologize for the delayed response.
Thank you for your proposal. I am very pleased to receive such a suggestion.

Before considering implementation, could you please explain why you are making this proposal at this time and what kind of demand you believe exists for it?
I believe that I can make a more concrete evaluation if I understand the use cases you have in mind.

Hi @doxas, nice to meet you. Congratulations on the projects.

LYGIA is a shader library that have been integrated to different frameworks and graphic engines. One of it's goals is to reduce duplication of code by serving common and reusable functions. That makes it a great tool for fast prototyping, iterating and moving across languages or environments.

Also another use of it is just to reduce the total amount of lines of code. For all this reasons I thought would be interesting for https://twigl.app/ to add support to it.

Happy to have a video or phone call if you want. Also to assist you on the integration if you decide to go forward.

Thank you for your reply!
I understand your suggestions and the intentions behind them very well. I would like to try implementing them myself first, so I will let you know again if I make any progress.
