Particle simulation

An example project to show thousands of particles can be simulated with the VkCV framework

Details

Similar to the projects to show rendering a single triangle or a simple mesh was possible. This project shows that many particles can be simulated using compute shaders and rendered using the usual graphics pipeline, all with the VkCV framework.

The behavior of the particles can easily be adjusted loading a different compute shader. That is the reason the application can be started with three different pipelines using one of those parameters:

• --space to simulate particles flying around in a wild way through space
• --water to simulate particles dropping down like a waterfall to the ground
• --gravity to simulate particles being drawn by points of gravity in space flying around those points
