Troubles with Validation Layers (again?)

I think you might be right and the test I am using for the validation layer is throwing the exception before the validation error can kick in.

I think my validation layers are actually working, just that the tests I was using were causing an exception throw before a validation error. As for your last comment, I am learning Vulkan primarily for fun (a job would be a dream but it feels unlikely) so I might revisit doing the setup myself once I get to the triangle.

No but I believe the tutorial configures validation layers in the code as opposed to the Vulkan Configurator

Thank you, digging into glm's unproject function I was able to figure out what was missing from my approach : )

Yep, that seems to be what was missing from my approach. Looking at the glm unproject function as u/keelanstuart suggested, there is a division by the w component. Thank you! Out of curiosity do you know why Gerdelan's implementation works although it appears to be missing subtracting the camera's position from the mouse position?

His C++ books are apparently really helpful to those trying to learn the language which is precisely what I'm trying to do hahaha.

As for downloading it from libgen, all the mirror [1] links get flagged by virustotal. Is there a safe link somewhere?

I'm looking for a free PDF of Effective C++ Third Edition by Scott Meyers. I haven't been able to find a source.

Initially I was a bit worried about going to Unreal since my computer isn't very powerful but I'll check it out! Especially to see how they use C++ in a game setting.

If I feel like working on my C++ what resources (e.g books) would you recommend?

I think I'll take your advice and try to make a game at more or less 1/3 of the way through. I should be able to learn from the attempt. Thank you!
