Our First Vulkan Shaders! | Cross Platform Game Engine Development

In this lesson, we create our first Vulkan GLSL Shaders, set up CMake to automatically compile them with the build, and render our first triangle!

In the next lesson, we will build out our basic input manager to demonstrate swapping out Vulkan Pipelines and set us up for camera controls in the future!
