#include "EffectRegistry.hpp"
static const std::string MY_FRAG = R"#(
// your GLSL fragment shader here
void main() {
// ...
setOutputColor(oColor);
}
)#";
class MyEffect : public IEffect {
public:

std::string fragmentSource() const override { return MY_FRAG; }
void registerConfig(HANDLE handle) const override { /* ... */ }
std::vector<std::string> uniformNames() const override { return {}; }

};
static bool _ = [] {
EffectRegistry::instance().registerEffect(std::make_unique<MyEffect>());
return true;
}();Then rebuild. The effect is available as plugin:hfx:open_effect = myeffect.
