+i'm crying i found a "minimal" vulkan example and the file has 2,000 lines of C++

+
+It’s possible to do it in about 300-400 lines.

+**5/** **@0xglitchbyte** ^2064815411229520276
+
+**@AgileJebrim** **@noinconsistency**
+
+While technically possible, arent shaders usually for compute intensive tasks such as physics simulations or image manipulation? Seem overkill to render a triangle
+
+**6/** **@AgileJebrim** ^2064817916806037992
+
+**@0xglitchbyte** **@noinconsistency**
+
+Why assume it has to be a triangle? A simple screen space gradient would suffice.
+
+**7/** **@AgileJebrim** ^2064818925162861033
+
+**@0xglitchbyte** **@noinconsistency**
+
+Compute shaders can be used for anything. Vertex and fragment shaders are really just abstractions built on top of them.
+
+**8/** **@0xglitchbyte** ^2065421752511942912
+
+**@AgileJebrim** **@noinconsistency**
+
+Triangles seems to be the “hello world” of graphics programming. 
+
+I’ll explore this.
+
+**9/** **@AgileJebrim** ^2065422960085598261
+
+**@0xglitchbyte** **@noinconsistency**
+
+Only because the interface they’re using is one based around triangular rasterization. If you ditch the triangle-based pipeline, then it’s not really suitable as a Hello World. Here’s a screen space alternative.
