Shader minifier interface and validation library for Python with a neat UI.
You need Python and poetry installed and in your system PATH. Before building, install the dependencies by running poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true and then poetry install from the source root.
For debugging, run poetry run python -m shader_minifier from the source root.
For building an executable, run poetry run pyinstaller pyinstaller.spec from the source root. The executable and a release archive will be generated in the dist subfolder.
pyshader_minifier can
- Find and download all tagged shader minifier versions.
- Interface shader_minifier from python.
- Automatically validate input and minified sources to detect problems quickly.
- Watch a shader file for changes on disk in the background.
- Display the minified file sizes of successive iterations of a shader file and their relative size gain when compared to the unminified source.
- Display the diff between the current state's (minified or original) source and a reference state in the history to obtain fine grained information on what shader_minifier did. That's a neat way to know whether or not your newest smart optimization actually decreased the minified source size!
- Change between tagged shader_minifier versions quickly.
- Create a commit with the current crunching state by only pressing a button in the UI.
- Display the entropy of your intro using a custom build command. Currently supports Crinkler(Loonies)-based output and Prost(Epoqe)-based output.
- Export the entire history of your crunching session to a JSON format (maybe you want to save that specific version you skipped over quickly?).
