About this repository

This repositry contains the basic Vulkan examples and tutorials based on the Vulkan Tutorial.

In this repositry, I have used SDL3 for window creation and input handling instead of GLFW, which is used in the original tutorial. The code is also updated to use C++23 features and the latest Vulkan API.

Prerequisites

• A C++ compiler that supports C++23 or later.
• CMake 3.30 or later.
• Vulkan SDK installed. You can download it from LunarG.
• A graphics card that supports Vulkan.

It is recommended to install SDL3 to your system to run the examples. If cmake cannot find SDL3, it will download and build SDL3 automatically.

Building the examples

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/upiscium/VulkanTutorial.git
   cd VulkanTutorial

2. Create a build directory (in this case, named build):

   mkdir build

3. Configure the project with CMake:

   cmake -S . -B build

4. Build the project:

   cmake --build build

5. Run the examples: Run the desired example executable. For example to run the "Hello Triangle" example:

   cd build
   ./build/chapter4
