Configuring Visual Studio

Vulkan is just a rendering API, so we need to create a window and do math. For both, we will use GLFW and GLM, like we did when we created an OpenGL project. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Create a new Visual Studio C++ project and call it VulkanProject.
2. Copy the GLFW and GLM folders from the OpenGL project and place them inside the VulkanProject folder, under a folder named Dependencies.
