Learning GLSL - Example

Processing Coding Questions
1

Hi everybody! im learning GLSL, and i want to learn how can i port this example from shaderToy to processing. What i want is that feedback effect, i not intersting in geometry. So, i made a simple sketch with a sphere. Anybody can help me? Can anybody explain me how is the “Channels” logic and how can i port this logic into processing? special when a buffer (example B, in this case, makes reference to itself) I want to learn how can i think multipass shaders.

this is the shader:

https://www.shadertoy.com/view/ldsczf

PShader s;
PGraphics a;

void setup() {

  size(500, 500, P3D);
  a = createGraphics(width, height, P3D);
  s = loadShader("feedbackLoop.glsl");
}


void draw() {
  
  a.beginDraw();
  a.translate(width/2, height/2);
  a.rotateY(frameCount/2);
  a.shader(s);
  a.sphere(100);
  a.endDraw();
  
  image(a, 0, 0);
}

float noise( in vec2 x )

    vec2 f = fract(x);

    f = f*f*(3.0-2.0*f);

    float n = p.x + p.y*157.0;

    return mix(mix( hash(n+  0.0), hash(n+  1.0),f.x),
               mix( hash(n+157.0), hash(n+158.0),f.x),f.y);
