What on earth is going on?

Why doesn't it just autocreate the shaders and compile my bitmaps? Or does it do that and I'm just missing something?

The shaders are created, you have to run seperate commands for bitmaps, and then reference them in the shader in guerilla.

Shaders are a pain in the ass.

Not really :\

Compared to most other engines, the shader creation and setup is relatively simple.
