hyper

Making myself a little Vulkan Engine using C++.
I named it hyper because I want to make a fast-ish engine (probably not how it'll turn out haha).

Progress

I want to completely understand how the whole vulkan graphics pipeline works, so I will not be using any tools such as vk-bootstrap.

Graphics Pipeline	Shader Setup	Buffer Setup	Extras
Window Creation	Shader Object Creation	Framebuffer Setup	Texture Loading
Instance Creation	Compute Shader Pipeline	Command Buffer Setup	GLTF Loading
Debug Messenger Creation		Vertex & Index Buffer Creation	Mesh System
Surface Creation		Descriptor Layout/Pool Creation	Asset System
Physical Device Picked			Multithreading
Logical Device Creation			Raytracing (maybe)
Queue Setup
Swapchain Setup

Tools used

I am using:

• GLFW for window creation
  
• Vulkan-Hpp as a C++ wrapper for the vulkan API

Learning Resources used

• Vulkan Tutorial for in-depth Vulkan setup
• Vulkan Guide for a more high-level look into Vulkan
• Vulkan Registry for API usage/spec
• Vulkan Docs for more API use/spec
• GIGD Vulkan Project for a more in-depth look into Vulkan
• Vulkan Minimal Example for an example of unique handles

Building

You can build this on Windows using the included Visual Studio 2022 solution.
I plan to one day learn CMake or Premake, but until then, Windows FTW
Builds may be found here sometimes, but I probably won't upload them too often until I am way later in development.
