@kanashimia Thank you 🙏 Glad you like it 🫡

Just rendered my first Vulkan triangle in raw x86-64 Assembly.
No C, no C++, no Rust.
Pure MASM64. Pure pain. Pure control.
This is what it means to go full bare metal.
More to come. ⚙️🔥

Vulkan and Win32 APIs ready.
Time to mov some data 🔥

translated Vulkan headers to MASM64 compatible assembly files using pyhon/libclang and the program runs:

its gonna be a long road to get the vulkan triangle, lots of infrastructure setup 🚧

Just added Vulkan validation layers and debug callbacks to my assembly-based engine! Catching issues before they crash—because debugging raw x64 is fun, but not that fun.

@evysgarden I'm more of a C guy but I respect C++ when you work in asm, you definitely get this itch to create a C compiler!

@evysgarden it is, but exploring the world of assembly is fun!

@RecurringBloatware No I do this for fun. I love C and I'd pick it any day over C++. Knowing both C & C++ is great anyway!

@IanSeyler Windows

@RecurringBloatware I want to explore how far you can push a macro assembler and how to use SIMD vector instructions from assembly

@aeva vulkan wasn't initially part of the plan but I thought why not

@aeva 👋
I am really interested in exploring how far you can push a macro assembler and how SIMD would feel like in pure x86_64 assembly

500 lines of pure x64 assembly.
Just to create a Vulkan instance.
No helpers. No C. No safety nets. Just raw MASM64 and the Vulkan headers.

This is what low-level graphics looks like when you go all the way down.
Next up: surface and device creation.

Just finished my arena allocator in x64 assembly!
It’s a simple stack allocator—no free, just fast linear allocation with a reset. I wrote it to avoid runtime malloc entirely in my handmade game engine, and to stay as close to the metal as possible.

@kimau yeah the insanity and awesomeness is whats drawing me into this craziness lol
Can't wait to get that triangle!

I just got Vulkan’s vkCreateInstance to execute from raw x64 assembly.
No C, no C++. Just MASM64 calling into the driver directly.

This is the first working step in my all-assembly engine — from boot to battle, everything will be handwritten in x64 asm.
