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;

This downloads standalone MSVC compiler, linker & other tools, also headers/libraries from Windows SDK into portable folder, without installing Visual Studio. Has bare minimum components - no UWP/Store/WindowsRT stuff, just files & tools for native desktop app development.

Run py.exe portable-msvc.py and it will download output into msvc folder. By default it will download latest available MSVC & Windows SDK - currently v14.40.33807 and v10.0.26100.0.

You can list available versions with py.exe portable-msvc.py --show-versions and then pass versions you want with --msvc-version and --sdk-version arguments.

To use cl.exe/link.exe first run setup_TARGET.bat - after that PATH/INCLUDE/LIB env variables will be updated to use all the tools as usual. You can also use clang-cl.exe with these includes & libraries.

To use clang-cl.exe without running setup.bat, pass extra /winsysroot msvc argument (msvc is folder name where output is stored).
