Shader Macros - GameMaker Tutorial
You can define macros in shaders, the same way you can in GML. In fact, you can do quite a lot with macros in shader languages! If you've ever messed with preprocessor directives in the C languages, you'll know exactly what to do with these. Bonus content: how to create a color inversion shader.
I did this demo in GLSL ES, but shader functions work the same way in HLSL. In general, both languages are very C-like.
I should repeat that even though you're allowed to do all of this with macros and the preprocessor in shader languages, it doesn't necessarily mean you should. Going overboard with macro functions and other preprocessor directives can make it VERY hard to read your code.
