Vulkan support #356

Closed cylix-lee closed 1 year ago

cylix-lee commented 2 years ago

Hi there and I must say you guys have done a wonderful work! I'm now using GtkSharp in most UI-dependent cases. However I'm currently working with an engine editor-like thing, which needs a component to draw some game stuff. GtkSharp now supports OpenGL by calling Gdk.Window.CreateGLContext(), but I couldn't find an api like gdk_surface_create_vulkan_context() to use Vulkan instead.

Is there any plan to support Vulkan or is there any existing way to use Vulkan? I'll appreciate it if you could take it into consideration.

Take a look on Ryujinx project: https://github.com/Ryujinx. It's a Nintendo Switch emulator who uses GtkSharp and whose maintainers are implementing Vulkan's support.

It's a very interesting use case.

seems that Gkt3 doesn't support Vulkan: https://docs.gtk.org/gdk3/#classes

remark: Vulkan is supported by Gtk4, which is not supported by GtkSharp: https://docs.gtk.org/gdk4/index.html#classes

seems that Ryujinx uses this for vulkan: https://github.com/Thog/SPB/blob/master/SPB/Graphics/Vulkan/VulkanHelper.cs
