Dusk

The Dusk repository contains examples of small programs using the WebGPU native API.

This is not an officially supported Google product.

Requirements

• git
• cmake 3.22 or later
• ninja
• clang or gcc

Building

git submodule init
git submodule update
mkdir -p out/Debug
cd out/Debug
cmake -GNinja ../..
ninja

Setup

Dawn has a lot of dependencies, in order to simplify things we're using git submodules to handle the heavy lifting of checkout out all the needed dependencies.

The examples are using CMake for build configuration. The CMake is pretty standard, c++23 is used for a few of the newer features. When linking the executables we add the following to the target_link_libraries:

• webgpu_dawn
• webgpu_cpp
• webgpu_glfw
• glfw

The last two are only needed because GLFW is being used for the window management. If something else is providing the window, and code is written to create the needed surface, the last two libraries can be removed.

Examples

The following examples are provided:

• 01 - Adapter and Device Information
• 02 - Coloured Triangle
• 03 - Using an Index Buffer
• 04 - Rotating Cube
