Shaders Can a shader run a recursive algorithm?

I have a recursive algorithm to solve a problem (which Tetris pieces needed + where to place in order to fill a board).

I'm wondering if it is possible to write a shader in GameMaker that will allow me to solve this instead. Is it possible to run a recursive algorithm in a shader?

Is there a particular reason to use a shader rather than just normal code?
