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 Compile	Framebuffer Setup	Texture Loading
Instance Creation	Shader Object Creation	Command Buffer Setup	GLTF Loading
Debug Messenger Creation	Compute Shader Pipeline	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

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.
