Walnut

Walnut is a simple application framework built with Dear ImGui and designed to be used with Vulkan - basically this means you can seemlessly blend real-time Vulkan rendering with a great UI library to build desktop applications. The plan is to expand Walnut to include common utilities to make immediate-mode desktop apps and simple Vulkan applications.

Currently supports Windows - with macOS and Linux support planned. Setup scripts support Visual Studio 2022 by default.

Requirements

Getting Started

Once you've cloned, run scripts/Setup.bat to generate Visual Studio 2022 solution/project files. Once you've opened the solution, you can run the WalnutApp project to see a basic example (code in WalnutApp.cpp). I recommend modifying that WalnutApp project to create your own application, as everything should be setup and ready to go.
