Vulkan render test 2

[Josh]

This demo will display some 2D graphics with Vulkan, along with a little physics.

vktest2.zip

This will run on any hardware that supports Vulkan 1.1. If it cannot initialize Vulkan it will display an error message and exit gracefully.

Although the rendering architecture in Ultra Engine is more complicated than Leadwerks, there is a technique available to detect graphics initialization failure: https://www.ultraengine.com/learn/CPP/World_Render

Works! even with integrated gfx

[Josh]

If you create a file in the same folder called "Ultra.json" you can control whether the discrete or integrated graphics get used:

{
    "preferDiscreteGPU": true,
}

The value above is true by default but you can set it to false to force use of integrated graphics, if they are present.
