# learn-wgpu
|
|
|
|
An educational book teaching Rust graphics programming with wgpu 29 + winit 0.30.
|
|
|
|
Built for backend/systems Rust developers who know Rust thoroughly but have zero
|
|
graphics programming experience. Every sentence teaches GPU concepts — not Rust syntax.
|
|
|
|
## Required Reading Order
|
|
|
|
1. [The Graphics Pipeline](concepts/graphics-pipeline.md) — GPU vs CPU, the 5-stage pipeline
|
|
2. [Coordinate Systems](concepts/coordinate-systems.md) — NDC, homogeneous coordinates, viewport
|
|
3. [Shader Basics](concepts/shader-basics.md) — WGSL, vertex/fragment shaders, interpolation
|
|
4. [Build a Rainbow Triangle](01-rainbow-triangle.md) — The complete step-by-step guide
|
|
5. [Troubleshooting](TROUBLESHOOTING.md) — Common errors and fixes (reference as needed)
|
|
6. [Glossary](concepts/GLOSSARY.md) — Every term defined (reference as needed)
|
|
|
|
> **Reading order matters:** Coordinate systems must be understood before shader basics,
|
|
> because the shader walkthrough references NDC coordinates.
|
|

|
## Guides
|
|
|
|
- **01 — Rainbow Triangle** — The minimal complete program: one triangle, smooth color interpolation
|
|
- More guides coming soon (textures, lighting, compute)
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Rust stable (edition 2024)
|
|
- Linux x86_64 with Vulkan drivers (`libvulkan1`)
