Following the Vulkan Tutorial

This personal project serves as my introduction to the Vulkan API and its features.
My primary goal is to better understand how a low-level graphics API works as I've mostly worked with the PlayStation 5. Due to it being closed source and therefore lacking learning materials, I decided to invest some time in Vulkan.
My secondary goal is to learn how to use it well enough to be able to write a Vulkan back-end of my current "On The Bubble" university project. The back-end of that project is hardware ray tracing and compute oriented since the renderer is entirely path-traced.
I might do some bigger things with this or I might not. For now, I'm taking it one step at a time toward the goals I've listed above.
- Basic Vertex + Fragment Shader
- Basic Compute Shader for Particles
- ImGui + ImGuizmo
- HLSL/GLSL Shader Compilation
It should run without issue if you have downloaded the Vulkan SDK.
I also use vcpkg only for glm. You'll need to set that up. I'll fix this at some point and move glm to Dependencies.
