Assignment 0: set up your Vulkan development environment
Following the tutorial on:
https://vulkan-tutorial.com/Development_environment
Install your own Vulkan development environment. Use it then to create your own project, and compile the file Assignment0.cpp
Running the code, should show you the following application:
User can move in the 3D world using the following keys:
| ESC – quit the application | ||||||
| Q: roll left | W: forward | E: roll right | R: up | ↑: look up | ||
| A: left | S: backward | D: right | F: down | ←: look left | ↓: look down | →: look right |
Beside the Vulkan library and GLFW (as specified in the tutorial):

Assignment0 uses also the following libraries:
GLM – math functions – https://github.com/g-truc/glm
STB – load texture images – https://github.com/nothings/stb
TINYOBJ – load .obj 3D models – https://github.com/tinyobjloader/tinyobjloader
TINYGLTF – load .gltf 3D models – https://github.com/syoyo/tinygltf
Since these 4 libraries are all header-only (i.e. they are included in the main code during compilation, and they do not other special install procedure), have been included for convenience in the headers folder of the assignment. When setting up the project for this assignment, you can simply add the headers folder to its “Additional Include Directories”, to shorten its setup time.
The other three folders, namely models, textures and shaders, contain the graphic components that are used to compose the scene: their content is loaded at run time by the application.
