static_triangle

README

This simple example initializes Direct3D9 and draws a static pink triangle in the center. It shows how to create and use vertex buffers and shaders. For compiling shaders for Direct3D you need FXC.exe, the DirectX effects compiler, which is included in the DirectX SDK and the Windows Platform SDK. See build_shaders.bat for details.

For window creation this sample uses Allen Dang's w32 library. Direct3D needs a handle to the window it runs in so you need a method for setting this up. Other libraries that you can use include SDL2 and the walk library.

If you simply build this sample with go build the resulting program will keep a console window open while running. Use the build.bat to build instead, it passes the flag -H=windowsgui to the linker which gets rid of the console window.
