----------------------------------------------- DirectXTK - the DirectX Tool Kit for DirectX 11 ----------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. September 15, 2016 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, Windows Store apps, Windows phone 8.1 applications, Xbox One exclusive apps, Windows 8.x Win32 desktop applications, Windows 7 applications, and Windows Vista Direct3D 11.0 applications. This code is designed to build with Visual Studio 2013 or 2015. It is recommended that you make use of VS 2013 Update 5 or VS 2015 Update 3 and Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or later. These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the DirectX SDK. For details, see "Where is the DirectX SDK?" <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee663275.aspx>. Inc\ Public Header Files (in the DirectX C++ namespace): Audio.h - low-level audio API using XAudio2 (DirectXTK for Audio public header) CommonStates.h - factory providing commonly used D3D state objects DDSTextureLoader.h - light-weight DDS file texture loader DirectXHelpers.h - misc C++ helpers for D3D programming Effects.h - set of built-in shaders for common rendering tasks GamePad.h - gamepad controller helper using XInput GeometricPrimitive.h - draws basic shapes such as cubes and spheres GraphicsMemory.h - helper for managing dynamic graphics memory allocation Keyboard.h - keyboard state tracking helper Model.h - draws meshes loaded from .CMO, .SDKMESH, or .VBO files Mouse.h - mouse helper PrimitiveBatch.h - simple and efficient way to draw user primitives ScreenGrab.h - light-weight screen shot saver SimpleMath.h - simplified C++ wrapper for DirectXMath SpriteBatch.h - simple & efficient 2D sprite rendering SpriteFont.h - bitmap based text rendering VertexTypes.h - structures for commonly used vertex data formats WICTextureLoader.h - WIC-based image file texture loader XboxDDSTextureLoader.h - Xbox One exclusive apps variant of DDSTextureLoader Src\ DirectXTK source files and internal implementation headers Audio\ DirectXTK for Audio source files and internal implementation headers MakeSpriteFont\ Command line tool used to generate binary resources for use with SpriteFont XWBTool\ Command line tool for building XACT-style wave banks for use with DirectXTK for Audio's WaveBank class All content and source code for this package are subject to the terms of the MIT License. <http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT>.

They are built by running the script in Src\Shaders - "CompileShaders xbox", and should be generated with the matching FXC compiler from the Xbox One XDK. While they will continue to work if outdated, a mismatch will cause runtime compilation overhead that would otherwise be avoided. This project has adopted the Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct.
