game-engine-3d VS learnopengl-examples

Try reading the above implementation. It’s a Hello, Triangle with SDL. Should compile out of the box on Windows.

I haven't looked at DirectX 12's documentation, but I really should. Khronos Group's Vulkan Samples are broken out of the box, crash on a fresh build, and the Hello Triangle API sample crashed when you minimize it.

It took me over 700 lines of C for a minimal replica.[1]

I'm not a fan of Vulkan not having a built-in compiler for shaders compared to OpenGL. I'm sure there's a superior technical reason for it, but I don't care because it's ruined my development experience, and reintroducing the behavior requires a sizable increase in CMake dependency overhead.

I wonder if using your library (https://github.com/floooh/sokol) instead of OpenGL will alleviate some of these issues for newcomers! There's already a sokol port of the learnopengl.com code (https://github.com/GeertArien/learnopengl-examples), so it shouldn't be too hard to match between the tutorial articles and these.
