==== - The series is not about drawing a few shapes — it walks you through building a minimal but real “game engine / rendering engine” in Vulkan. GitHub<ref>{{cite web|title=GitHub|url=https://github.com/stymee/SilkVulkanTutorial|publisher=github.com|access-date=2025-11-29}}</ref> ====
* That means it deals with low-level graphics API details: device setup, swap chain, render passes, framebuffers, synchronization, and eventually rendering geometry, managing shaders, etc. The purpose is to give you a deep grasp of how modern graphics pipelines work — not just high-level abstractions.
