2D sprite renderer written in Odin using the vulkan API
This project is an Odin port of my plain C implementation of a 2D sprite renderer using the Vulkan API. I started by following one of the Vulkan tutorials, and ended up making a lot of changes, mainly:
- Using SDL3 instead of GLFW
- Using Vulkan 1.3 instead of 1.0
- Dynamic rendering
- Sychronisation2
- Offscreen rendering / post processing
- Multiple piplines
- Generating sprite vertices in the vertex shader
I make no claims that this is well organised or setup perfectly. I tried to tidy a few things up but I'm still not sure the best way to organise a Vulkan project.
You will need to have Odin installed, and you will need Vulkan installed too. I think you can run it without validation layers without the full SDK, but if you want the validation layers you should install the SDK.
I have included the compiled shaders, so you should be able to run it just by typing:
odin run game
If you want to run it with validation layers enabled do:
odin run game -define:ENABLE_VALIDATION_LAYERS=true
I've included a shell script and batch file to compile the shaders on Linux and Windows respectively, as well as a run script to run the app with the validation layers enabled.
