Shader Uniforms // Zig Game Engine Series

Welcome back to the Game Engine Series! In this video we learn how Shader uniforms work and how to use them in our game engine. I also show a cool optimization to precompute all the uniform locations at the start so we never have to look them up during runtime.

📚 Topics Covered:
- How shader uniforms work
- How to use shader uniforms
- Writing a generic Zig function to handle all uniform types
- Precomputing shader locations
