🌋 VKUT

Purpose

VKUT is a utility for Vulkan and it help you reduce typing code to use Vulkan. As you know, Vulkan requires to write a lot of code to you and it's not fun. You can enjoy writing code with VKUT. It's written in C++ and supports all platforms.

Build

add_subdirectory(vkut)

target_link_libraries(${TARGET_NAME}
  PUBLIC
    vkut
)

Usage

Using VKUT is very similar to Vulkan. You need to keep in mind that all functions has vkut prefix and all structure has Vkut prefix.

// Set up the application info.
VkutApplicationInfo app_info;

app_info.SetEngineInfo("vulkan engine", 0, 1, 0);

// Set up the instance create info.
VkutInstanceCreateInfo create_info;

create_info.pApplicationInfo = &app_info;
create_info.SetEnabledLayerNames(layer_names);
create_info.SetEnabledExtensionNames(extension_names);

VkInstance instance;
vkutCreateInstance(create_info, instance);

It allow you to call a function once to query what you need.

std::vector<VkPhysicalDevice> physical_devices;
vkutEnumeratePhysicalDevices(instance, physical_devices);

It supports convenience utility functions. You can easily get what you want.

VkPhysicalDevice physical_device;
vkutFindBestPhysicalDevice(instance_, physical_device);
