hydra-extensions

Repository of community extensions and examples for hydra-video-synth. Files are loaded directly from this repository to the list of extensions at https://hydra.ojack.xyz.

The categories of entries are as follows:

• extensions: scripts that extend the main functionality of hydra-synth, such as adding glsl functions or javascript utility functions. Also includes scripts to help hydra work with other libraries.
• external-libraries: code for directly loading other libraries into the hydra editor
• examples: groups of examples illustrating specific functionality within hydra
• [WIP] editor add-ons: adds UI elements and other functionality to the editor

Guidelines for adding an extension or example:

    },

• name: title of the extension as it will appear in the editor. Make sure there is no existing extension with the same name
• description: SHORT description of what it does
• documentation: link to documentation (for extensions, addons, external libraries)
• author: include extension author, original library author(s)
• thumbnail: ! should be 60px by 60px
• load: script for loading external script. make sure to escape quotation marks with '' to be valid json. i.e.

  await loadScript("https://cdn.statically.io/gl/metagrowing/extra-shaders-for-hydra/main/lib/lib-pattern.js")

should be

"await loadScript(\"https://cdn.statically.io/gl/metagrowing/extra-shaders-for-hydra/main/lib/lib-pattern.js\")"

• examples: array of hydra links to example usage for this extension. Some guidelines for writing examples:
  • comment the code
  • include example author name in the comments
  • nice to include some very simple, barebones examples as well as slightly more complicated ones
  • think of beginners / those not so familiar with hydra --- stick to hydra core functions whenever possible and minimize using more specialized things such as custom functions, arrays, audio input, etc. unless relevant to the specific extension
