vulkan-example

An example triangle rendering program based on Vulkan Tutorial.

The executable renders a single three-color triangle that looks roughly like the image provided in the tutorial. Q key or any program termination signal exits the program.

GLFW is used to create a window in a platform-independent fashion.

The code closely follows the tutorial from the Introduction up until and including Vertex buffer creation, however there are a few deviations:

• VK_PRESENT_MODE_FIFO_KHR is used instead of VK_PRESENT_MODE_MAILBOX_KHR;

• Precompiled shaders are baked directly into the code;

• vkWaitFences resides at the end of the drawing loop instead of at its start;

• VulkanMemoryAllocator is used to allocate the vertex buffer.

This application overrelies on throwing exceptions via fail for error handling, this is an intentional choice in the name of code brevity.
