Oh wow, now I can finally have terminal that creates fire effects the faster I type! (if I ever get the time to make the plugin)

Is there anyway for plugins to interact with shaders?

Intenser flames the more you type, great idea!

Plugins can't currently get the shader pixels. But that's just because I haven't added them to the plugin protocol yet. But interestingly shaders actually have access to the terminal contents in the form of a pixelated version of the text. And the mouse and cursor position too. So maybe there's something you could do purely in a shader.
