Notes

AST or no AST?

The end goal of the flowchart is to construct a frag string. I see two ways to do this;

1. As-you-go

• Each node is responsible for transforming and appending to the frag string.
• For example, all a sine node will do is "sine(" + previousValue + ")"

2. AST + JIT

Node schema

nodeData

• dim (int) - the dimensionality of the outputs. this means all the outputs are of the same dimensionality (i.e. the outputs of the Time node are all vec1s).
• out (object) - arbitary source data. target nodes look at the id of the source handle and then do out[sourceHandleId] to get the data. So really you can have anything in here but it'll only be able to be used if there's a corresponding source handle.
