Experimental C++/Vulkan playground for Windows. Everything builds via MSYS2 UCRT64.

Prerequisites

• Follow docs/MSYS2.md to set up MSYS2 UCRT64, compilers, and the required vcpkg defaults.
• Follow docs/vcpkg.md to bootstrap the package manager.

Build / Run

Use the project task runner sj at the repo root. It targets MSYS2 UCRT64, keeps separate Debug/Release build folders, chains through vcpkg when VCPKG_ROOT is set, and preserves dependency caches on clean.

./sj build [debug|release]   # configure + build (defaults to debug)
./sj test  [debug|release]   # build + run tests for the config
./sj run   [debug|release] -- <args>
./sj clean [debug|release]

Extra flags after the config go straight to CMake (for build) or the executable (for run).

Notes

• Dependencies come from vcpkg.json. With VCPKG_ROOT set (per the docs), the build script pulls them automatically.
• VS Code users can select any of the MSYS2 presets in CMakePresets.json (e.g., ucrt-debug) if they prefer the IDE workflow.
