Minimal D3D11

Minimal D3D11 reference implementation: An uncluttered Direct3D 11 setup + basic rendering primer and API familiarizer. Complete, runnable Windows application contained in a single function and laid out in a linear, step-by-step fashion that should be easy to follow from the code alone. ~200 LOC. No modern C++, OOP or (other) obscuring cruft. View on YouTube

Also check out Minimal D3D11 part 2, reconfigured for instanced rendering and with a smaller, tighter, simplified overall code structure, or Minimal D3D11 part 3, with shadowmapping + showcasing a range of alternative setup and rendering techniques.
