This package contains the "DirectX Tool Kit", a collection of helper classes for writing Direct3D 11 C++ code for Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps for Windows 10, Xbox One, and Win32 desktop applications for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or later.
|
|
|
|
This code is designed to build with Visual Studio 2017 ([15.9](https://walbourn.github.io/vs-2017-15-9-update/)), Visual Studio 2019, or clang for Windows v9 or later. It is recommended that you make use of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update SDK ([19041](https://walbourn.github.io/windows-10-may-2020-update-sdk/)).
|
|
|
|
These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the legacy DirectX SDK. For details, see [Where is the DirectX SDK?](https://aka.ms/dxsdk).

## Release Notes
|
|
|
|
* Starting with the June 2020 release, this library makes use of typed enum bitmask flags per the recommendation of the _C++ Standard_ section *17.5.2.1.3 Bitmask types*. This may have *breaking change* impacts to client code:
|
|
|
|
* You cannot pass the ``0`` literal as your flags value. Instead you must make use of the appropriate default enum value: ``AudioEngine_Default``, ``SoundEffectInstance_Default``, ``ModelLoader_Clockwise``, or ``WIC_LOADER_DEFAULT``.
|
|
|
|
* Use the enum type instead of ``DWORD`` if building up flags values locally with bitmask operations. For example, ```WIC_LOADER_FLAGS flags = WIC_LOADER_DEFAULT; if (...) flags |= WIC_LOADER_FORCE_SRGB;```
|
|
|
|
* The UWP projects and the VS 2019 Win10 classic desktop project include configurations for the ARM64 platform. These require VS 2017 (15.9 update) or VS 2019 to build, with the ARM64 toolset installed.
|
|
|
|
* The ``CompileShaders.cmd`` script must have Windows-style (CRLF) line-endings. If it is changed to Linux-style (LF) line-endings, it can fail to build all the required shaders.
