This is an ongoing personal game engine project still in early stage of development. The purpose of this project is to learn the Vulkan API and test out computer graphics knowledges.
Visual Studio 2019 and later is recommended, Windows is currently the only supported platform.
1. Downloading the repository:
Start by cloning the repository with git clone --recursive https://github.com/Kanagawa-Wave/Avalanche.
If the repository was cloned non-recursively previously, use git submodule update --init to clone the necessary submodules.
2. Build the project:
