finite_render_init

The finite_render_init function creates a Vulkan instance and surface using the provided shell and configuration data.

FiniteRender *finite_render_init(FiniteShell *shell, char **extensions, char **layers, uint32_t _exts, uint32_t _layers);

Parameters

Type	Description
`FiniteShell *shell`	Shell that holds the surface and display needed for surface creation.
`char **extensions`	Optional array of Vulkan instance extensions to enable.
`char **layers`	Optional array of Vulkan validation layers to enable.
`uint32_t _exts`	Number of Vulkan instance extensions in the extensions array.
`uint32_t _layers`	Number of Vulkan validation layers in the layers array.

Code Example

#include <finite/log.h>
#include <finite/render.h>

FiniteShell *shell = finite_shell_init("wayland-0");

char *extensions[] = {
    VK_KHR_SURFACE_EXTENSION_NAME,
    VK_EXT_DEBUG_UTILS_EXTENSION_NAME,
    VK_KHR_WAYLAND_SURFACE_EXTENSION_NAME
};

char *layers[] = {
    "VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation"
};

FiniteRender *render = finite_render_init(shell, extensions, layers, 3, 1);

Standard Usage

This function must have a valid FiniteShell.

Call this function after creating a shell. It sets up the Vulkan instance and prepares a surface for rendering.
