Minimal D3D11 sprite renderer

Minimal D3D11 sprite renderer: basic back-to-front sprite rendering reference code with example sprite sheet animation logic. As usual: Complete, runnable single-function app. No modern C++ / OOP / obscuring cruft.

Swap out the sprite sheet with a font atlas for a lightweight GUI / text renderer. Clip individual sprites and glyphs by offsetting screenPos and atlasPos to top left corner of visible area and adjusting size accordingly (all values in pixels):

sprite.screenPos.x += 17;
sprite.screenPos.y += 10;

Minimal D3D11 pt2

Follow-up to Minimal D3D11, adding instanced rendering. As before: An uncluttered Direct3D 11 setup & basic rendering primer / API familiarizer. Complete, runnable Windows application contained in a single function and laid out in a linear, step-by-step fashion. No modern C++ / OOP / obscuring cruft.

The main difference here is that the hollow cube is rendered using DrawIndexedInstanced (which saves a lot of vertices compared to the original, so model data is now small enough to be included in the source without being too much in the way), but also all trigonometry and matrix math is moved to the vertex shader, further simplifying the main code.

Each instance is merely this piece of geometry, consisting of 4 triangles:

..which is th
