okay so I'm trying to add shaders to the pong example (taking them from the shader example), and they don't work... When trying to load them .LoadFromFile it fails to load them, except, I tried using the "nothing.sfx" shader, and that one works. Unless I change the code in it, then it fails o_0.
Am I failing to initialize something?
here's my code (sorry I added in a couple sounds too, that'll probably stop it from compiling, you might just copy the ball.wav file and renaming the copies just so it'll find them, if you need to compile it)
I think the only two relevant variables I added were
sf::RenderImage backBuffer;
and
sf::Shader shaderBlury;
