Getting Started

Requirements

Dependency	Version	Notes
Vulkan SDK	1.3+	Download
CMake	3.20+	Make sure it's added to PATH
MSVC	2022	Via Visual Studio Build Tools
SDL2	2.28.5	See setup below

SDL2 Setup

1. Download SDL2-devel-2.28.5-VC.zip
2. Extract and rename the folder to SDL2
3. Place it at third_party/SDL2/
4. Confirm third_party/SDL2/include/SDL.h exists

Build

git clone https://github.com/你的用户名/DawnEngine.git
cd DawnEngine
mkdir shaders
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build build --config Debug

Or open in VS Code and press Ctrl+Shift+B.
