# Diligent Samples <img src="https://github.com/DiligentGraphics/DiligentCore/blob/master/media/diligentgraphics-logo.png" height=64 align="right" valign="middle">

This module contains tutorials and sample applications intended to demonstrate the usage of
[Diligent Engine](https://github.com/DiligentGraphics/DiligentEngine). The module depends on
the [Core](https://github.com/DiligentGraphics/DiligentCore), [Tools](https://github.com/DiligentGraphics/DiligentTools),
and [FX](https://github.com/DiligentGraphics/DiligentFX) submodules.

To build and run the applications, please clone the [main repository](https://github.com/DiligentGraphics/DiligentEngine?tab=readme-ov-file#cloning-the-repository)
and follow the [instructions](https://github.com/DiligentGraphics/DiligentEngine#build-and-run-instructions).
