![]() ![]() Start by installing Visual Studio for Windows, during installation make sure you grab the c++ game development tools, this will come with the Direct X SDK, you need this for the tutorial. I will assume some basic C++ knowledge for the purposes of this tutorial. Graphics Programming is very difficult to learn on it's own so I recommend getting fairly comfortable with C++ before attempting to do any programming with the Direct X API, if you are not confident with your programming skills then it will be difficult to diagnose errors with your graphics code. I am a student studying Game Development and my first time setting up Direct X was a painful experience for me and I imagine a lot of people will feel the same way, it's just a daunting task to learn the D3D11 API and to understand the different components and how they work together when just setting up a project to clear the screen to a color requires so much effort. I made this tutorial as a guide for my future self and also for anyone looking to start learning graphics programming with Direct X. ![]() This is a basic tutorial on how to modify the default C++ Win32 application to run d3d11 code and get the screen to clear to a specific color, a good starting point for anyone learning computer graphics. ![]()
