Issue

The guide is written for v0.13. It does not work for 0.17.

The two things that have changed are:
1.

    CpuAccessibleBuffer::from_iter(device.clone(), BufferUsage::all(), false, data_iter)

which now requires another argument (3rd argument above was added), and

2.

PersistentDescriptorSet::start(compute_pipeline.clone(), 0)

which I cannot manage to set up.

Can you update the guide? Or at least tell me how to fix the second issue.

[KarelPeeters]

The second one now looks more like this:

let set_layout = compute_pipeline.layout().descriptor_set_layout(0).unwrap();
PersistentDescriptorSet::start(set_layout.clone())

There are up-to-date examples in the examples folder of this repository.

Shouldn't issues about the website posted here?
Also there's already a pull request to update to 0.18 on there.

Also, the author of the guide should continue the remaining section of the WIndowing. It's the most confusing part.

Also the winit examples are quite out of date. I really appreciate the guide though, it was really helpful.

Guides should be up to date for 0.18; therefore, I am closing this.
