An adapter to make nuklear play with vulkan and glfw

Download the latest release from the Releases tab. Then check overlay.h/overlay.c to get an idea how to use it.

The implementation itself has been done using C99 so far. It is using designated initializers which are not supported by C++ compilers. This is subject to change in a later version.

As a result the example overlay only compiles using a C99 compiler.

The background however is a slighly modified version of the excellent https://www.vulkan-tutorial.com and will require a C++ compiler.

The Vulkan SDK and a Vulkan capable graphics card are obviously also required.

xxd should be installed on linux out of the box. For windows it was part of the git distribution.

• works on Windows and Linux
• Android support in progress (input events a bit off)

• Clone repo
• Configure the project with CMake
• build

Assuming your build directory is build

cmake --build .\build\ --config Debug --target release

Assuming your build directory is build (untested as of now)

(cd build && make release)

Afterwards there should be a nuklear-glfw-vulkan.h file in your build/release directory containing a standalone version which has all the shaders inlined.

Please ignore any compile warnings (but report errors!). There is a simple compile check in place which just checks that replacing the shaders worked.

• Proper buildchain that outputs a single header only file (building blocks all there)
• Clarify where external requirements should be placed (glfw, nuklear)
• Fix wacky input
• Use correct blending (currently somewhat off)
• implement resize
• check performance
• cross platform tests
• proper example (incl. interaction)
• dynamic scissor
• implement test to check if released header works

• Alexander Overvoorde for his excellent tutorial
• Sascha Willems for his vulkan examples

You will find that I used large portions of the code from their repos.

Also the creators of nuklear and glfw obviously :)

The adapter is based on the glfw_opengl3 variant of nuklear.
