picasso

Introduction

picasso is a PICA200 shader assembler, written in C++. The PICA200 is the GPU used by the Nintendo 3DS.

picasso comes with a manual Manual.md that explains the shader language. example.vsh is simple example that demonstrates it.

A working C++ compiler for the host is required (Windows users: use TDM-GCC), plus autotools. Use the following commands to build the program:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

smea for reverse-engineering the PICA200, writing documentation, working hard & making aemstro_as.py (the original homebrew PICA200 shader assembler)
neobrain for making nihstro-assemble, whose syntax inspired that of picasso and whose usage of boost inspired me to make my own assembler without hefty dependencies.
