VoxelEngine

A high-performance, modern voxel engine written in C++ with Vulkan and GLFW.

Features

• Real-time raytracing with Vulkan
• Procedural terrain generation
• Multi-threaded chunk management
• Modular, extensible architecture

Dependencies

• Vulkan SDK
• GLFW
• GLM
• glslc (from Vulkan SDK, for shader compilation)
• g++ (C++17 or newer)

Building

To build the engine and shaders:

make

This will:

• Compile all shaders in shaders/ to SPIR-V in bin/
• Build the C++ source files in src/
• Output the binary to bin/voxels

Running

To run the engine:

make run

Or manually:

./bin/voxels

Cleaning

To remove all build artifacts:

make clean

Adding New Shaders

• Place new .glsl files in shaders/.
• Add a line to the Makefile to compile it to bin/yourshader.spv.
