Ferris Mark VK

A Windows Vulkan 2D sprite rendering benchmark written in Rust.

Inspired by Jacob's gophermark (YouTube) and ebitengine-bunny-mark (Artem Sedykh). With sprite batching inspired by How I learned Vulkan and wrote a small game engine with it (Elias Daler).

Vulkan SDK recommended

Install on Windows 11 with winget:

winget install vulkansdk

Run it

To run with 1000 sprites:

cargo run --release 1000

Run Benchmark

With Git Bash on Windows:

./benchmark.sh

This will:

1. Build the app in release mode
2. Test various sprite counts (1000, 2000, 3000, etc.)
3. Summarize the results
