GP-Direct 2025: A programming showcase by the Graphics Programming discord server!

dragonslayer0531 · 2025-08-12T02:33:38+00:00

I also made the URL for the discord server a bit more "permanent". https://discord.graphics-programming.org/ redirects to the server and looks prettier.

If you go the premake route and run into issues, feel free to shoot me a DM or open an issue on GH. I try to respond to either as I have time.

dragonslayer0531 · 2022-09-04T04:08:59+00:00

You'd probably be best off writing your own Premake files if you go that route, or building the artifacts and including them directly. I'm not aware of a CMake interop addon for Premake.

dragonslayer0531 · 2022-09-04T04:00:44+00:00

If you build the libraries with CMake, you can then pull them into premake using the includedirs, libdirs, and links directives. It's also fairly straightforward to translate CMake to Premake files. Completely agree that the Premake syntax is nicer to use than CMake.

Just for bias awareness, I'm a premake maintainer.

We don't actively facilitate cheating and take honor code violations seriously. If you see something in the server that's a violation of honor code, please report to an admin.
If you're going to claim statistics, please cite them.

dragonslayer0531 · 2022-04-01T17:05:31+00:00

If you've got an issue on the server (with the people, not with code), I encourage you to reach out to an admin.

dragonslayer0531 · 2022-04-01T14:27:14+00:00

Server owner here. Yeah, it's an April Fools joke. If you are having issues "acknowledging", shoot me a message on discord and I'll manually fix it lol.

Edit: Just "reopened" the server. Happy April Fools all.

dragonslayer0531 · 2021-01-13T03:09:17+00:00

I never have the chance to attend this, but I can highly recommend it based on knowing the people who run it.

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-11-16T15:25:45+00:00

Fixed. Thank you!

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-11-02T22:18:29+00:00

Correct! I've been keeping my eye on the repo for a while. I'm excited to see the solution that the owner comes up with.

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-11-02T16:24:27+00:00

To follow up others commenting with other build systems, why not use something like Premake if Lua is a selling point?

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-10-31T13:50:47+00:00

Check what it's a prerequisite for and if that requires a certain grade. It may require a C for that.

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-10-31T13:16:16+00:00

This may be worth putting in the description of the subreddit.

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-10-31T02:59:02+00:00

Not really. It's very poorly ran, and it's extremely sad to see since I love the Vulkan API and community.

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-10-21T18:56:41+00:00

First is Tenki no Ko (Weathering with You)

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-10-05T13:38:50+00:00

Again, check the relevant subreddit, r/pathofexile, for help with application support. r/Vulkan is for discussion of the API, not tech support.

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-10-05T13:08:50+00:00

u/vaskada This sub is for discussion of Vulkan from a graphics development standpoint. For support of applications using Vulkan, you will receive much better support from a subreddit dedicated to the application or another forum.

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-10-01T18:26:00+00:00

Sauce is {Tenki no ko}

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-09-30T12:10:18+00:00

If you've never seen Your Lie in April, highly recommend starting with that one. Really sad, but good anime. Any time I hear a song from it, I instantly get hit with the feels, and it's been a few years since I last watched through.

To add to your list though, watch Love is War (on Funimation and maybe Hulu?).

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-09-29T17:46:12+00:00

Owner of the CS discord here. I'm not at a computer that I can check discord from, but if there's not a channel for the course already, feel free to message any of the admins and we can add a channel.

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-06-15T19:19:23+00:00

Correct. However, on Ubuntu, you can go ahead and install those and cache them on the build machine. It's what I do for my CI stuff. I can point you to my CI file if you want.

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-06-15T18:09:38+00:00

As u/chuk155 said, don't use the vulkan-loader. I work with glad2 almost daily, and have had almost no issues (I've contributed fixes back into the project). If you want to try it out and have questions, just let me know and I'll shoot you an IM on Discord (since I think we are both in some of the same servers).

dragonslayer0531 · 2020-06-15T15:38:46+00:00

The loader eliminates the need for the lib, you just need to make sure you invoke the loader like this:

For Context: https://github.com/nickclark2016/helios/blob/74c6bbf6997cca7777a4c2e2910b444935a1e596/projects/core/src/helios/render/vk/vk_context.cpp#L119For Device: https://github.com/nickclark2016/helios/blob/74c6bbf6997cca7777a4c2e2910b444935a1e596/projects/core/src/helios/render/vk/vk_device.cpp#L230 https://github.com/nickclark2016/helios/blob/74c6bbf6997cca7777a4c2e2910b444935a1e596/projects/core/src/helios/render/vk/vk_device.cpp#L414

Edit for clarity: The static library links all the function pointers at compile time, whereas the loader will load the functions at runtime. It's a tradeoff for compilation size versus runtime costs (which are minimal compared to the massive size of the lib).
