+# Reactor
+
+A modern C++ Vulkan renderer built using Vulkan-Hpp, designed with extensibility and clarity in mind. This renderer leverages dynamic rendering, multi-sample anti-aliasing (MSAA), HDR rendering, and a modular render loop architecture to simplify development of real-time graphics applications.
+
+## ✨ Features
+- Vulkan-Hpp: Modern C++ bindings for Vulkan for type safety and cleaner API.
+- Dynamic Rendering: No need for complex render pass setups.
+- MSAA + Resolve: High-quality anti-aliasing using MSAA images resolved into HDR buffers.
+- HDR Rendering: Full 16-bit float rendering pipeline using R16G16B16A16_SFLOAT.
+- ImGui Integration: Built-in user interface rendering support.
+- Robust Frame Management: Supports multiple frames in flight.
+- Descriptor Management: Automatic uniform buffer updates and descriptor set handling.
+- Swapchain Resilience: Handles window resize events and swapchain recreation cleanly.
+
+## 🚀 Getting Started
+
+**Prerequisites**
+- Vulkan SDK (1.3+)
+- C++20 compiler (e.g., clang++ or g++)
+- CMake (3.18+)
+- glfw for windowing
+- glm for math
+- Vulkan Memory Allocator (VMA) for efficient GPU memory management
+- ImGui for UI
