DirectX In this article I will give a quick introduction to DirectX. I will use Visual Studio 2008 as a development environment for this tutorial and I will start by showing how to install DirectX and configure Visual Studio 2008 to start developing DirectX applications. I assume that the reader has basic programming knowledge in C++. If you require a math refresher, you can refer to my “3D Math Primer” articles on,, and. Introduction DirectX is the name of the collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by Microsoft for use on Microsoft’s Windows operating systems.

DirectX was originally created to provide programmers a platform to continue developing games for the upcoming platform called Windows 95. Windows 95 offered a protected memory model that restricted users from having direct access to the peripherals of the computer such as the display device, the keyboard and mouse, and audio device. To overcome this restriction developers at Microsoft had to provide a set of programming APIs that allowed the developer to access these devices in a standardized way. The DirectX software development kit (SDK) provides several APIs that perform specific functions. Is the most commonly used API and includes methods to render 3D graphics directly to the hardware accelerated render device. The API provides hardware accelerated 2D graphics drawing however this API has recently been deprecated in favor of available on Windows 7.

The API is used for playing sound effects while (now deprecated) was used for the playback of music tracks and audio streams. More recently, Microsoft also introduced the and API which is a layer built on the DirectSound API. The API that is responsible for providing access to input devices such as keyboards, mice, and joysticks is called and an API was also introduced to provide network play functionality called but this API is also now deprecated in favor of. In this article, I will focus on the Direct3D API. Installing DirectX The DirectX SDK can be downloaded from Microsoft’s MSDN website. Every few months, Microsoft will release a new version of the SDK (the current version at the time of this writing is the June 2010 SDK) so if you are in early development of your project, you may want to check back to make sure you are using the most up-to-date version of the SDK.

If you have an earlier version of the SDK installed on your computer, it is recommended that you first uninstall the previous version before installing the latest version. The DirectX SDK installer will create a environment variable called DXSDK_DIR which will refer to root folder where the SDK was installed.

Installing a new version of the SDK will replace this environment variable with the location of the newly installed SDK. Setting up Visual Studio If you already have Visual Studio installed, the DirectX installer will add a few settings to the general settings of Visual Studio.

Let us confirm that these settings are applied to your Visual Studio environment. Open Visual Studio 2008 and select “Tools → Options” from the main menu.

If you also installed the 64-bit compiler options when you installed Visual Studio, you can also configure the library files to use when your application is targeting 64-bit platform. In this case, change the “Platform:” option to “x64” and confirm the entry “$(DXSDK_DIR)Lib x64” exists in the directory list. Once you have confirmed these settings, you can start developing your DirectX applications. Create a New Project We first need to create a new project for the DirectX demo. From the main menu, select “File → New → Project” or use the shortcut key “Ctrl+Shift+N”. Visual Studio 2008 - Create New Project Dialog Select a name for your new project (I choose “DirectX Template” for mine) and a location where your new project will be created. Click “OK” to create the new project.

In the “Win32 Application Wizard” dialog box that appears, select the “Application Settings” item on the left and in the pane on the right, select “Windows application” radio button under “Application type:” and check the “Empty project” check box under “Additional optons:”. Doing this will ensure we start with a clean project. In the following steps we will add the source files ourself. Visual Studio 2008 - Project Properties From the properties dialog that appears, select “All Configurations” from the “Configuration:” drop-down menu.
