Vulkan-Experiments

Overview

This repo contains a simple implementation of a Vulkan renderer created following the excellent Vulkan Tutorial website.

This implementation uses SDL instead of GLFW and follows a more C-like API design.

It's very much a WIP and is not ready for use other than as a learning tool.

Dependencies

Currently tested on macOS.

Vulkan is installed on the system and is found with find_package(Vulkan) in the root CMakeLists.txt file. All other dependencies are found through the use of CMake ExternalProject_Add and FetchContent.
