Easy Patterns
3×3 tiled stripes with a border
A picture built in steps: tile, then draw stripes, then color it, then finish with a border. Every step is listed below with its exact numbers.
How this challenge works
You write a fragment shader that draws the picture above, live in your browser. A match bar shows how close you are, and the score combines accuracy, code size (the par is 400 characters in Unity (Built-in)) and GPU speed. Work in HLSL, GLSL, WGSL, Metal or Godot and export the result when you are done.
The numbers you need
- Space
p = (uv - 0.5) * float2(aspect, 1.0)- Step 1: Tile
p = frac(p * 3.0 + 0.5) - 0.5 (repeat the picture 3 times across)- Step 2: Pattern
m = step(0.35, frac(dot(p, float2(0.0, 1.0)) * 7.0))- Step 3: Colors
lerp(float3(0.06, 0.05, 0.14), float3(0.61, 0.38, 0.86), m)- Step 4: Finish
edge = min(min(uv.x, 1.0 - uv.x), min(uv.y, 1.0 - uv.y)); col = lerp(float3(0.97, 0.38, 0.85), col, smoothstep(0.055, 0.061, edge))
