This is where I will experiment with the Vulkan graphics API. The plan is to start by following Vulkan Tutorial to build up a foundation. Then, after completing the tutorial, I will modify the code with the aim to produce a basic 3D renderer. The scope of the 3D renderer will be decided at a later point.
The main branch may not contain the latest changes, as risky changes are kept in
separate development branches prior to merging. These branches are named
wip/{feature}.
This project uses vcpkg to pull in most dependencies. However, the following must still be installed manually:
| Dependency | Version Used in Project |
|---|---|
| A C++ compiler with C++23 support | 15.0.5 (clang) |
| vcpkg itself | - |
| CMake | 3.24.0 |
| Vulkan SDK | 1.3.236 |
This project has only been tested on Linux and Windows 10. Other platforms may or may not also work.
git clone --recurse-submodules {repo}
There are currently two compilers (MSVC, Clang) and two build configurations (Debug, Release) with presets.
The presets are named {Compiler}-{Configuration}, with each component spelled exactly as above.
cd {projectRoot}
cmake --preset {preset}
cmake --build Build/{preset}
{projectRoot}/Build/{preset}/Renderer --resources-path="{ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_RESOURCES_DIR}"
The "--resources-path" flag is necessary during development since the Resources directory and the executable will not be in the same directory. Note that the quotes are required.
If using CLion, you can take advantage of the $ProjectFileDir$ macro in
Run/Debug Configurations → Program arguments.
