Masonlet/LearningVulkan

A repository for learning the Vulkan API.

LearningVulkan

A repository to better understand and explain Vulkan.

Branches

Branches are used to demonstrate specific Vulkan concepts, building step by step from the basics to more advanced topics.

• Branch 0.0 — Demonstrates how to set up and build a minimal Vulkan project using CMake
• Branch 0.1 — Demonstrates the bare minimum for a GLFW window
• Branch 0.2 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.3 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.4 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.5 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.6 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.7 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.8 — W.I.P
• Branch 0.9 — W.I.P
• Branch 1.0 — Triangle W.I.P

Building the Project

This project uses CMake. Follow these steps to build:

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Masonlet/LearningVulkan.git
cd LearningVulkan

2. Create a Build Directory and Generate Build Files

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON ..

-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON flag generates a compile_commands.json file Can be safely omitted on Windows if you're using Visual Studio

3. Build the Project

• Linux:

  make

• Windows:

  cmake --build .

  Or open the generated .sln file in Visual Studio and build the solution.
