Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions VS awesome-vulkan

it shouldnt be, it uses opengl 3 which isnt deprecated (though after learnopengl.com, you should look at this https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions to learn the more modern way of using opengl) though bugs in opengl are usually kindof difficult to track down, one time i was certain everything was right but it was only a black screen, so i deleted all of the code and rewrote it exactly the same and it worked (100% just a silly mistake on my part though) as for the root_directory.h thing, without any context i cant really help you there

https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions probably has all you need to cover DSA features, but by itself you won't understand it - it basically just tells you how these modern functions replace older functions.

I personally think there are enough 3.3 tutorials out there, and that new ones should teach the modern paradigms introduced in OpenGL 4.X (DSA, immutable storage, sampler objects, vertex format, etc.). Basically, things mentioned in this post and this repo.

but other than that, if you just target desktop computers, there is no reason to go lower than 4.6 or 4.5 - if some GPU doesn't support it, it's probably too old for intensive graphics anyway. Stick with 4.5+ as DSA is worth it.

This guide teaches some of the modern OpenGL functions (particularly DSA and VertexAttribFormat). https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions.

an alternative way would be DSA. Have a look here: https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions and example code here https://github.com/Fr3nchK1ss/OpenGL-4.6-Hello-Triangle

Maybe that helps a bit. DSA is pretty straightforward. https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions . There is a lot more to modern OpenGL than just DSA. If you want to deep dive into modern rendering (and modern OpenGL) I can suggest https://www.amazon.de/Graphics-Rendering-Cookbook-comprehensive-algorithms/dp/1838986197/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=NLRU5UJZT0IH&keywords=modern+rendering+cookbook&qid=1649074763&sprefix=modern+rendering+cookbook%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-1

and then https://github.com/fendevel/Guide-to-Modern-OpenGL-Functions for an actually sane and nice way of working with OGL.

there are: - OpenSceneGraph ( and vsg ) - Ogre3D - Magnum - A plethora of them here, here and here.

I do wish the authors had picked a somewhat more distinct name. Being so close to the official Vulkan Compute seems dubious. Looking at the awesome-vulkan list, very few projects are named like vulkan-blah.

If you are hellbent on going with vulkan, however, then I would reccomend looking around here: https://github.com/vinjn/awesome-vulkan

There are several libraries which try to 'make vulkan easier' to varying degrees of success, you'll have to decide if they are right for you. Hers a decent list of various vulkan libraries and projects. https://github.com/vinjn/awesome-vulkan
