Research direction

The issue proposes a real-time renderer for Moonshine shaders using rlgl, but does not identify files, tests, or an implementation entry point. Start by reading the renderer and shader architecture to assess whether this proposal is feasible; done would require a defined scope and a working renderer that meets agreed performance goals.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Context: I was watching some YouTube videos about optimizing things like games or operating systems the other day, and the idea struck me: why not optimize Moonray to the max so it runs on any PC with minimal demands? So I ran some tests to see if any Moonray shaders would run on my 2009 Nvidia G210 graphics card, and surprisingly, it runs at a nearly stable 30fps in real time. Here's proof.

(Note: My display framerate is 60hz)

So why don't we make a renderer like Eevee, almost in real time but using Moonshine's shaders, for everyone and open source made with rlgl?
