A landscape simulation engine with attention to detail.

For the old version visit old-worldtogpu branch in this repo.

Vulkan graphics API and C++17

• Vulkan 1.1
• SDL 2
• GLM

Tested on:

• Windows 10
• Ubuntu Linux

Install Vulkan SDk 1.1+
Install SDL2 library as a package on Linux and manually on Windows.
Make sure Vulkan and SDL are findable by CMake with find_package() command.

Making SDL2 library findable on Windows might take extra steps:

• create sdl2-config.cmake file containing definitions of SDL2_INCLUDE_DIRS and SDL2_LIBRARIES. Both of those variables should point to SDL include and library directories respectively. Make sure SDL include files are searchable at "SDL2/SDL.h" path.
• at CMake configuration stage add -DSDL2_DIR="dir_to_sdl2-config.cmake" definition
• copy SDL2.dll next to application executable file.

To retrieve the project from github and compile:

git clone https://github.com/ivarsrb/landscape-sim.git --recursive
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build --config Debug --target <target_name>

to compile shaders for the given app target:

cmake --build build --target <target_name>-shaders

, where <target_name> is the name of an application.

The lsim engine consists of multiple sublibriraries.

• apps - applications using lsim engine
• src - lsim engine source files and non-exported header files
• include - exported header files. To be used in applications or other libraries.
• extern - external modules

The project uses Google style guide and C++ Core Guidelines as a coding reference.
In case Clangd language server is used, .clang-tidy file describes the style the code is checked against.
