Re: [Foxgui-users] Vulkan as OpenGL alternative

[Roland P. <ro...@rp...>]

Then Vulkan will be even a bigger pain. Vulkan is geared for high 
performance game development where you have to manage everything. You 
need like 100 lines of code in Vulkan for 1 line of code in OpenGL. 
Hence going from OpenGL to Vulkan is a huge time investment. There are 
helper libraries around to reduce the management overhead but it's no 
easy task.
