AzCore Tesseract
A downloadable example project for Windows and Linux
Take to the 4th dimension and explore what it would be like to see a 4-Dimensional Hypercube (a.k.a. a Tesseract) up close and personal!
This is an example project included with AzCore to demonstrate how one can go about designing a simple Vulkan program from the ground up.
AzCore is an open-source toolset written in C++ to lower the barrier of entry into game engine development at a low level. Demonstrated here is the Vulkan Framework, and Window, Keyboard, Mouse, and Gamepad I/O. The project was up and running within a day, and some polishing was done for about two days after that. It's meant to be an example to prove that feature-full Vulkan apps can be written in a short timespan given the right tools for the job.

A great way to test if vulkan drivers are working on linux!
