# vk.net

This repo is composed of three projects in early development state.

## vk.net
Low level Vulkan c# binding on the model of OpenTK Wrapper with a rewrited DLL.
The original bindings has been made by mellinoe@gmail.com (https://github.com/mellinoe) with a generator. I've copy the generated c# bindings and modified them by hand removing lot's of uneeded overrides, trying to limit the use of unsafe pointers to replace them by IntPtr where possible or ref/out decorations. Some structures have also been modified this way, adding also some #ctors.
Lot's of vkFunctions are missing for now, I add them when required while developing some samples.
I plan to rework the rewriter, maybe remove it to let default marshaler do it's job (depending on future perf study), and maybe try to make a new generator limiting it's overrides count.

## VKE : VulKan Engine (good name still to be found for it)
higher c# classes to simplify vulkan apps programmation with IDispose model, My plan is to have good classes for a model/view 3d editor, but the base classes should still target speed.
Multiplatform window handling is done through GLFW and gltfNet/KTX/stbi libs stands for models loadings.
Consider this as R&D.
## Samples
Lot's of the work is done with Sachawillems examples in c++ nearby.
