Yes, this works on an actual phone, but it’s hard to record a video 🙂 Anyway, recreating the swapchain on Android and on Windows requires a different approach, but it’s working now. 💃💃💃

Not much today,💅~just out here slaying a dramatic little orientation change bug 😊and teaching the Android project how to properly pause, stop, and resume w/o throwing a tantrum. Yep, it took a while since I’m not using any windowing library. 💃👩‍💻✅

Sure, Erwin. Those 4 cubes use different blend states: Solid, AlphaAdditive, AlphaTranslucent, and Wired. The axis lines are also rendered using LINE_LIST, which is the rasterization mode for wireframe rendering. 💃

Vulkan releases game engine tutorial

The Vulkan Working Group has published, Building a Simple Game Engine, a new in-depth tutorial for developers ready to move beyond the basics and into professional-grade engine development.

OMG!!! It’s Sir Willems!!! 😊Thank you so, so much!!! I’ll definitely see what I can do using WSL2. I honestly couldn’t have done this project without your amazing tutorial sample ~ it helped me a ton! And the best part is, it’s really not that hard to port it over to C#! 👩‍💻🔥💃

Hooray!🎉I can’t believe I’ve pulled this off ~ this #Vulkan project is now running on Windows ✅ and Android ✅Next step: I need to install Linux to test it there as well and maybe grab a Steam Deck too, just for testing purposes.💃

C# is an amazing languages ever created. It was designed by the same genius behind Delphi (Object Pascal/Turbo Pascal) and TypeScript, and it combines power with clarity. I wouldn’t trade C#’s clarity and ease of use in game development for a few extra FPS gained by using another language.

Let’s just say I want my game logic to run at 128 UPS (Updates Per Second) 💅✨~super smooth, super responsive ~but I only want it drawn at 60 FPS (Frames Per Second), because we love efficiency and aesthetics. Smart. Balanced. A little technical, a little fabulous. 💖🎮

You’re wondering what’s UPS? not Uninterruptible Power Supply 😂 ~ it’s Updates Per Second, just like FPS (Frames Per Second). Out of the box, both UPS and FPS can be specified in the settings. Now that’s versatility!

It's happening!💅✨That’s the iconic CornflowerBlue Graphic API background color 💙And yessss, finally the framework is running on Android!! 💃📱 Also, can we talk about how even Samsung is out here proudly showing the GPU name? Like okayyy hardware queen, we see you👑✨

Much appreciated, many thanks! 💃🥰

Thanks! 💃

From here, I can continue testing upward, instance creation, device creation, and eventually rendering on Android, using a single engine library. 💃👩‍💻

I didn’t install anything on my Android tablet, but it ran successfully on dev mode. The C# app was able to load the Vulkan API and display the Vulkan version.

One step at a time! 🙂 At least now I know I can successfully load the Vulkan API and retrieve the Vulkan version using pure C#. This is a small milestone, but it confirms that the core integration is working. 💃

YouTube video by Vulkan Vulkanised 2026: Vulkan Now and Then (for Hobbyists)

If you wanna know if #Vulkan @vulkan.org is the right graphics api for hobby developers (tl;dr: yes), you might find an answer in my #Vulkanised 2026 talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eshk...

Ehe, this was also asked on another platform, I only create a simple array of quads and switch their images when they’re hit from above or below and it's neighboring quads if any.

I super appreciate the interest, Jared! 💃

Yes, this is intended to be open source. Git (or an equivalent platform) will be made available once it reaches its alpha release. At that time, tutorials, sample games, and docs will also be provided. Contributions from others are super welcome 💃but this project is only three months old 😅

Although I have a bounding Box, Rectangle, Sphere, and Line intersection routine, I currently use Vector 2 distance checking for all collisions in this game, even though this is in 3D💃

if( Math.Abs( V2.Distance( pMissileXZ , pShipXZ )) < nRadius ) 😅

Thank you!💃🚀

Awesome! 💃🚀 This background looks fantastic for the game 🙂

Yay! 🎉 Finally, the base (pillbox) barriers are done! It still needs some polishing, and I still need to add the mystery ship.

Sounds great, Erwin! I’m looking forward to seeing your project soon! ✅

Not yet 36, but I’m aligned with that. 👩‍💻💃

This is amazing!

This is the structure my mentor taught me to follow when writing classes in C#. With this foundation in place, I just need to implement the functionality. Since most of my classes follow this structure, debugging is much easier because I always know where to look. 🙂
