Minimal Vulkan application that renders a colored triangle using modern C++17 and helper libraries.

• CMake 3.15+
• C++17 compiler
• Vulkan SDK (includes glslc shader compiler)
• GLFW 3.4 (auto-fetched if not found)

• volk: Vulkan meta-loader
• vk-bootstrap: Vulkan initialization helper
• VulkanMemoryAllocator: GPU memory management

mkdir build && cd build cmake .. cmake --build .

./bin/VulkanTriangle

Shaders are automatically compiled to bin/shaders/ during build.

• main.cpp: Application entry point with Vulkan setup and render loop
• triangle.vert: Vertex shader
• triangle.frag: Fragment shader
• CMakeLists.txt: Build configuration with shader compilation

• Uses volk for dynamic Vulkan loading (no static linking)
• RAII wrapper handles cleanup automatically
• 2 frames in flight for optimal GPU utilization
• Window resize not currently handled

Mostly vibe-coded with Claude Sonnet 4.5
