I pretty much did this at my first coding job lol I was building an online menu that you flip through with the keys lol

I did his "optimized" shading trick for a game my friends and I built for a coding project in school.

Because the project was due in three hours and we realized that we didn't have any menus. So it was a matter of getting anything functional as menus(stage selection, button mapping, main menu.)
So the game itself capped at 60fps on the potato school computers, but the static menus only got 20fps.
