A tutorial series teaching C++ developers how to build a 3D game from scratch using DirectX 11, progressing from Win32 windowing to a full DX3D game engine with graphics, input, and entity-component systems. The repository contains the complete source code of the engine and a game sample, with per-tutorial tags.

Use cases

• learn DirectX 11 graphics programming in C++
• build a 3D game engine from scratch
• understand low-level game development systems like input and ECS
• follow a step-by-step C++ game tutorial
• learn Win32 windowing and game loop fundamentals
• study a complete DirectX game engine codebase

When to choose

• you want to learn 3D graphics and engine internals from first principles on Windows
• you prefer hands-on tutorial code with per-lesson checkpoints
• you are a beginner-to-intermediate C++ developer targeting DirectX 11

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready game engine for shipping a game
• you target platforms other than Windows or want OpenGL/Vulkan
• you want a quick high-level engine rather than learning low-level systems
