Vulkan-Hpp

Have you actually taken a look at it (the source code?). It's actually very well written and easy to understand even for me (a sysadmin, not a programmer). I have a side-project in ue4 that I've been trying to dev on gnu+linux only and have been working hard to avoid the issues that games like pubg have that make them unable to run on linux (mostly because Epic has not been taking care of us linux users like they promised and the marketplace assets often only work on windows, so when a dev like the pubg guys just throws a bunch of assets in, that's why they can't get things to work on linux) My problem is I don't know much C#, but it really confuses me why Epic decided to use C# for the framework of a C++ engine... That project is on hold while I play with vulkan directly via https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp. I have too many pro

You can read the documentation in https://developer.apple.com/metal/ , which includes a link to all WWDC videos. Vulkan is basically a C API, defined at https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/ There is a C++ wrapper, originally designed by NVidia, https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Hpp, but it isn't part of the specification as such. Likewise the shading languages are either GLSL or HLSL, although in theory others could be created for SPIR-V. Of course, Vulkan has the benefit of GNU/Linux, Desktop Windows (not on UWP) and about 14% Android devices (optional in 7+ versions), but middleware engines make it kind of irrelevant.
