Simple cross-platform Vulkan API Engine

The main direction of this project is learning the Vulkan API and learning the basic structure and principles of how game engine works

Showcase

Requirements

• Graphics Card's culpability for Vulkan
• For GNU/Linux. Vulkan driver installed
• GNU/Linux or Windows based system
• CMake(10.13 or higher), follow the installation guide
• C++ compiler(clang)

Compile for GNU/Linux

Check version(1.2.176.1) of Vulkan SDK installed with path ~/VulkanSDK
If not, follow next steps:

• Downloand from LunargXchange 1.2.176.1 version of Vulkan SDK.
• Create the directory in the ~ named VulkanSDK(the same as it is shown). Unzip all the files from SDK archive and unzip it into ~/VulkanSDK
• Open ~/.bashrc and type following:

export VULKAN_SDK=~/VulkanSDK/1.2.176.1/x86_64   
export PATH=$VULKAN_SDK/bin:$PATH  
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH   
export VK_LAYER_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK/etc/vulkan/explicit_layer.d

Clone the repository. Because of github's policy you need to clone glfw repository(for window creation and Vulkan initialization)

$ cd includes
$ rm -rf glfw
$ rm -rf glm
$ git clone https://github.com/glfw/glfw
$ git clone https://github.com/g-truc/glm

Finally, build and run project with CMake

$ cmake -B build
$ cd build
$ make
$ cd src
$ ./Wolfram

Compile for Windows

• install the 1.2.176.1 version of Vulkan SDK. Choose path C:\VulkanSDK
• clone the repository, then cd includes, and clone glfw and glm repositories with replace
• open cmake gui and choose your cmake generation option(for example, Visual Studio 19)
• run your application. If you have any issues, see "Issue page" on github, or write it to my telegram
