Asteroids Shader

A very simple copy of the arcade game "asteroids" that runs entirely inside shaders (after the usual meaty vulkan setup).

The program was tested on AMD and Nvdia hardware. Sadly, my Intel igpu do not support the required extension.

For more detail, see my blog post here: https://gabdube.github.io/python/vulkan/2019/01/10/shader-games.html

Requirements

• Python 3.7
• A recent Vulkan driver
  • Extensions VK_KHR_draw_indirect_count or VK_AMD_draw_indirect_count must be supported
• glslangValidator (to compile the shaders)
• (Optional) Vulkan validation layers

Run

From the windows binary

Download the binary from https://github.com/gabdube/asteroids-shader/releases/tag/1.0.0 and run asteroids.exe

From the source

git clone [e-mail]:gabdube/asteroids-shader.git
cd asteroids-shader
python tools/compile_shaders.py
python asteroids.py

Commands
