Vulkan Vertex Buffers Tech Demo

Introduction

This repository is a tech demo for loading a vertex buffer in Vulkan.

Getting Started

In order to compile and run this demo, your system needs to have a Vulkan SDK installed on the system. In particular, on macOS, you need something like LunarG's Vulkan SDK to work. In summary, you need

A Vulkan SDK that supports Vulkan 1.3.
A C/C++ compiler that can compile C++20, such as clang, msvc, or gcc.
The cmake build system with minimum version 3.28.

Knowing that cmake is a difficult creature on a good day, here are some instructions to build the demo to make things simpler to get moving with.

Compiling The Demo

To compile the demo, run

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build

and it should compile.

Running The Demo

To run the demo, run

cmake --build build --target run

or if you're feeling a little lazy

./bin/*

and the demo should launch.

Cleaning Up The Build Tree

To clean the build artifacts for the demo, run

rm -rf build
rm -rf bin
