Those of y'all convey been to Hogwarts volition in all likelihood endure able to empathise the spells involved. Here's 1 of the spells,
"encode particle positions every bit RGBA colors of an image, charge it to the GPU, calculate novel positions based on air current velocities inwards the fragment shader, encode them dorsum into RGBA colors as well as depict it into a novel image".
If y'all are a elementary muggle as well as then y'all volition in all likelihood endure content alongside simply looking at the pretty colors similar me.
