This repo is currently intended for me to learn Vulkan. This project was originally intended to become a partial higher level Vulkan wrapper however goals shifted and now this repo will become a GUI library called Quasar that also provides a partial higher level Vulkan wrapper and later also support other technologies and platforms. I will use this project extensively throughout my future projects.
The code is in a very early state. There are TODOs all over the place. Only use this if you want to test something and know what you're doing. Don't use this for any project (either production or prototyping).
When the code becomes a fully functional library it will still not be 1.0 so that there is enough time to figure out what parts can be set to common defaults and what needs more granular control.
The text below is just temporary important/useful notes that will be moved to a proper documentation when ready.
This library can optionally infer the vertex attribute layout from the SPIR-V or GLSL shader code. However, this requires a special naming for input variables of the vertex shader when using instancing. Also, the vertex buffer must be at binding location 0 and the instance buffer must be at binding location 1. The idea is to make the vertex shader code the single source of truth for the vertex layout and therefore reducing duplicate code that comes from the explicit nature of Vulkan. When instancing is not used, the naming convention can be ignored.
#version 460
in vec3 vPos; // input variables from the vertex buffer are prefixed with 'v'
in vec3 iPos; // input variables from the instance buffer are prefixed with 'i'
void main() {
gl_Position = vec4(vPos + iPos, 0);
}
