+# Improve Shader mode: Support for the Latest PDE Version, Documentation Update and Live Reloading
+[Shader mode](https://github.com/Izza11/shader-mode), created by [Izza Tariq](https://github.com/Izza11), enables people to code GLSL shaders directly in the Processing Development Environment (PDE), however it is not currently compatible with the latest version of Processing. This project aims to update Shader Mode for Processing 4 and distribute it via the Processing Contribution Manager. 
+
+Additionally, the project will enhance existing resources, such as documentation, tutorials and examples, to better support people in learning shader programming. 
+
+Furthermore, the introduction of live reloading will improve the user experience and streamline the workflow, aligning it with capabilities offered by other shader coding environments.

+## Benefits to the community
+The power, versatility and beauty of shader programming naturally attracts interest from the Processing community, comprised of artists, designers, hackers and educators. However, learning shader programming can be percieved as intimidating and daunting, creating a barrier to entry for many.
+
+Processing is renowed for it's beginner friendly interface  and ease of use, making it an ideal environment for introducing shader programming to newcomers. Familiarity with the interface allows people to concentrate solely on learning shader programming techniques, removing additional obstacles and facilitating their progress.
+
+## Milestones and calendar
+Taking into account my summer availability, which falls outside of the Standard Coding Period, I have devised an 8 week plan using [Github Projects and issues](https://github.com/users/TiborUdvari/projects/2/views/3). The breadown of the plan is as follows:
+
+![Planning](./planning.png)
+
+### [Community Bonding Period](https://github.com/TiborUdvari/shader-mode/issues/3)
+* Read documentation about Izza Tariq's first GSOC where she implemented live reloading for shader mode
+* Assess existing examples and documentation, starting with those included in the documentation
+* Assess requirements for live reloading and adapt planning 
+* Investigate results of shader survey by Izza Tariq for actionable insights
+
+### [Milestone 1: Repair Shader Mode (2 weeks)](https://github.com/TiborUdvari/shader-mode/issues/7)
+* Identify issue with shader-mode
+* Repair shader-mode running issue
+* Publish via contribution manager
+
+![Shader error](./shader-error.png)
+
+### [Milestone 2: Document Shader Mode (3 weeks)](https://github.com/TiborUdvari/shader-mode/issues/12)
+* Revisit [PShader tutorial by Andres Colubri](https://web.archive.org/web/20210419055927/https://processing.org/tutorials/pshader/), from the `Shader > Getting Started` menu
+* Propose additional examples, being inspired from popular tutorials such as [The book of shaders](https://thebookofshaders.com/)
+
+### [Milestone 3: Live Reloading (2 weeks)](https://github.com/TiborUdvari/shader-mode/issues/14)
+* Implement with lessons learned from tweak mode, which is a feature in Processing that enables users to modify any numerical values in the program while it is running. This approach can facilitate workflows similar to those found in other shader editors.
+
+### [Final week (1 week)](https://github.com/TiborUdvari/shader-mode/issues/18)
+
+* A final pull request to update the original shader-mode repository with library code, examples, and documentation.
+* Packaging and releasing the final version of the library via the Processing contributions manager
+
+## Bio
+Hi I'm Tibor, after using Processing for a long time, I am excited to contribute to the community. Currently, I am pursuing my graduate studies at HEAD Geneva. Previously, I worked at [ECAL](https://ecal.ch/en/school/network/people/tibor-udvari/) helping students with creative coding and other related projects. My educational background is in computer science.
+
+Although I've always been interested in shaders, I am now dedicating more time to learning about them in-depth. I saw that shader-mode is broken, making it the ideal project for me to tackle.
+
+In conclusion, this project aims to revitalize Shader Mode for Processing by ensuring compatibility with the latest version, improving resources, and introducing live reloading. These enhancements will lower the barrier to entry for shader programming in Processing community. I believe that my background in computer science, experience in creative coding, and interest in learning about shaders make me the ideal candidate to successfully execute this project.
