Vulkan Rectangle

A minimal Vulkan application that renders a rectangle, designed to demonstrate the core concepts of the Vulkan graphics API.

📌 Overview

This project is a simple starting point for learning Vulkan. It focuses on setting up the essential components required to render geometry on the screen, without unnecessary complexity.

🚀 Features

• Vulkan instance and device setup
• Swapchain creation
• Graphics pipeline configuration
• Vertex buffer for rectangle rendering
• Command buffer recording and submission
• Basic shader integration

🛠️ Technologies

• C++
• Vulkan API
• GLSL (for shaders)
• Visual Studio
