- pjmlp 9y agoYep, fully OO, C++14 shaders and all the respective libraries for textures, fonts, scene definitions,.... Vulkan is the typical Khronos API, pure C, has the extension dance to find out what is available, just knows about pixels and for everything else everyone needs to go fishing for libraries.
- Phrodo_00 9y agoJust for curiosity, does it predate Mantle?
- AlphaSite 9y agoI think metal is based on mantle from before it was announced api understand it, DX12 is similar.
