CguP - Concurrent Go Rendering Engine

A modern, data-oriented rendering engine written in Go, powered by Vulkan. Build for learning, research, and high-performance indie games.

Contributing • Architecture • Roadmap

Vision

CguP aims to demonstrate how Go's currency primitives (Goroutines, Channels) can be effectively used in a high-performance graphics engine. We prioritize architecture and parallelism over raw single-threaded speed.

Features (Planned)

• 🚀 Vulkan Backend: Modern, explicit GPU control.
• 🧵 Concurrent Architecture: Parallel command recording and asset loading.
• 🧩 Modular Design: Clear separation of Core, Platform, and GPU layers.
• 📄 Render Graph: Automatic resource barrier management and pass reordering.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go 1.25+
• Vulkan SDK (Required for MoltenVK on macOS)

Running the Demo

# On macOS
go mod tidy
CGO_CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include" CGO_LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/lib" go run cmd/demo/main.go

Structure

• engine/core: Basic utilities (Logging, Config).
• engine/platform: Windowing and Input (GLFW).
• engine/gpu: Vulkan wrappers and context management.
• pkg/compute: (Legacy) CPU-bound entity update prototypes.
