The native extension is _vk and is loaded by vk/__init__.py.

Set-Location "D:\projects\vk_project"
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -e .

Run example

Set-Location "D:\projects\vk_project"
python .\examples\create_device.py

Tutorials

Each tutorial can be opened directly in Google Colab, or built into a local Jupyter notebook via build_notebooks.bat (requires jupytext).

Tutorial	Open in Colab
01 - Vulkan Devices
02 - Vectors and Matrices
03 - Basic Compute
04 - Basic Rasterization
05 - Vertex Buffers
06 - OBJ Viewer
07 - Texture Mapping
08 - Basic Raytracing
09 - Shadow Cast
10 - Whitted Raytracing

The notebooks themselves (tutorials/*.ipynb) must be committed/pushed to the repository for the Colab links to resolve.
