Toy Engine

Table of contents

This project is a playground for me to learn Graphics Programming, and in particular the Vulkan Graphics API.

We will be using Rust as the programming language and the following libraries:

Install rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install.
Set the default Rust toolchain to msvc: rustup default nightly-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.
1. We are using nightly so that we can benefit from latest features.
Use rustfmt nightly: cargo +nightly fmt.
Install LunarG Vulkan SDK: https://www.lunarg.com/vulkan-sdk/

https://renderdoc.org/

We can use RenderDoc, an open-source Graphics debugger, to obtain quick and easy single-frame capture and detailed introspection of ourt application.

Open RenderDoc and select the Launch Application tab.
Set Executable Path to toy_engine/target/debug/sandbox.exe.
Click Launch. The Sandbox app should start, and a new sandbox [PID XXXXX] tab should appear.
Update Tools attributes as needed, and then click Capture Frame(s) Immediately to capture frames.
Enjoy all the debugging features that RenderDoc has to offer!

Benchmarks powered by Criterion are available under benches.

https://crates.io/crates/cargo-criterion

Install Criterion by running the following command:

cargo install cargo-criterion

To run all benchmarks, navigate to the root of the repo and run the following command:

cargo criterion

Or run a specific bench:

cargo criterion bench_quad_batcher_add_quad_100
