+All game shaders are placed in this directory.
+
+Only `.vert` and `.frag` files are loaded; all other extensions are ignored.
+
+Shader language used: GLSL ES2.
+
+Usage:
+```js
+import getShader from './shaders';
+const shader = getShader('shaderName');
+console.log(shader);
+// { vertex: '...', fragment: '...' }
+```
