WebGPU/WGSL Hello Triangle!

An example of how to render a triangle with WebGPU using WebGPU Shading Language - the "Hello World!" of computer graphics. Details in blog post: https://en.morzel.net/post/webgpu-wgsl-hello-triangle

What it does?

If your browser supports WebGPU and WGSL, you should be able to see a gray square with a green triangle in the center. And that's it.

Live example: https://morzel85.github.io/webgpu-wgsl-hello-triangle/index.html

WebGPU and WGSL are work in progress!

Please mind that WebGPU and WGSL specs are not finalized and implementations are changing! Visit webgpu.io to check current status.

Keep it simple!

WebGPU is a low-level API so its “Hello World!” can’t be a one-liner, nevertheless this repo is meant to be as simple as possible. Just two files: one for HTML and one for JavaScript - no Node.js, Weback etc.

Is it possible to simplify the code further? Teach me how! :)
