Higher-dimensional renderer implemented in Vulkan. This is mainly a research project.

Currently only Ubuntu is actively supported, however you might be able to run it on other Linux distributions.

Documentation will be available in the future.

• GLFW
• GLM
• Some other platform specific headers
• Git, Make, Clang
