This is great news! Anyone have a recommended Vulkan intro?

Here's a 1192 line example that draws a colored triangle: https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan/blob/master/examples...

> Contrary to the other examples, this one won't make use of helper functions or initializers

Wondering what the code would look like with the helpers. Is this a bit of a "recoding of the wheel" example/exercise by Sascha?

Helpers and initializers aren’t necessarily platform agnostic in Vulkan same goes for non-mandatory / base extensions.

Say what you want about D3D at least it follows a strict take or leave it regime.

Probably 20 lines.

Yep. It almost seems like Vulkan is designed to be used through a library or framework of helper functions ;)

This is actually really well commented and instructional
