As a 2020 New Year’s Resolution to myself, I decided that I should do more open-source hobbyist programming. One thing that I’ve wanted is to have a personal library/reusable code that will help facilitate my ideas and other personal projects. To do this, I’ve decided to develop a cross-platform rendering engine that uses DirectX12 and Vulkan graphics APIs, as although I’ve got concrete understandings of these APIs, I don’t have anything on my personal portfolio. This is being done entirely in my spare time (mostly weekends) so there is no strict deadlines to when I get features complete. I will take the approach of implementing as generic as I can from the get-go, so when I need to implement a new platform/graphics API, it should ideally be “implement the stubs” with little refactoring (ofcourse that’s the best case outcome!). Antoher approach I am taking is to develop the core libraries as and when I need, instead of implementing things like containers without a use case to test it.
Development started on: 19/01/2020
