Raygun is a simplistic game engine built around Vulkan Ray Tracing. Therefore, a GPU supporting hardware ray tracing is required.
PhysX is used as physics engine, while OpenAL enables audio support. For window and input management, GLFW is utilized. Debugging and profiling information is displayed via ImGui.
