A collection of legacy DirectX SDK C++ samples for Direct3D 11, XInput, and XAudio2, reworked to build with the Windows 10 SDK without the legacy DirectX SDK. It serves as reference code for Windows desktop graphics and game development.
Use cases
- learn Direct3D 11 programming with working sample code
- study DirectCompute compute shader examples
- get legacy DirectX SDK samples building on modern Windows 10 SDK
- reference XAudio2 and XInput usage in C++
- modernize old D3DX11-based code
- learn HLSL effects and shader techniques
When to choose
- you want maintained, modernized versions of classic Direct3D 11 samples
- you need reference C++ code for Direct3D 11, DirectCompute, XAudio2, or XInput on Windows desktop
- you are learning Windows graphics programming with Visual Studio 2019/2022
When to avoid
- you need DirectX 12 or UWP/Xbox samples
- you want a library or framework to include in your project rather than sample code
- you target non-Windows platforms
- you need the original unmodified legacy DirectX SDK samples
