Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. Originally, the names of these APIs all began with Direct, such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so forth. [...] Direct3D (the 3D graphics API within DirectX) is widely used in the development of video games for Microsoft Windows and the Xbox line of consoles.[1]
In this tutorial we will be focusing on DirectX 9, which is not as low-level as it's successors, which are aimed at programmers very familiar with how graphics hardware works. It makes a great starting point for learning Direct3D. In this tutorial I will be using the Win32-API for window handling and the DirectX 2010 SDK.

case WM_DESTROY:
_running = false;
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
}
// Return the handled event.
return DefWindowProc(hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam);

To make it easier to draw primitives sharing a lot of vertices we can use indexing, so we only have to declare the unique vertices and put the order they are called in another array.

Instead of using the old "flexible vertex format" we should use vertex declarations instead, as the FVF declarations get converted to vertex declarations internally anyway.

DirectX 9 introduced the HLSL (High Level Shading Language), a C-like shader language, which simplified the shader programming a lot, as you could only write shaders in shader assembly in DirectX 8. Let's create a simple vertex- and pixel shader.

// 3 4x4 float matrices representing the matrices we set in the fixed-function
// pipeline by using the SetTransform() method.

// It holds a 3d float vector for the position and a 4d float vector
// for the color.
struct VS_INPUT {
float3 position : POSITION;
float4 color : COLOR;
};
// The output struct of the vertex shader, that is passed to the pixel shader.
struct VS_OUTPUT {
float4 position : POSITION;
float4 color : COLOR;
};
// The main function of the vertex shader returns the output it sends to the
// pixel shader and receives it's input as a parameter.
VS_OUTPUT main(VS_INPUT input) {
// Declare a empty struct, that the vertex shader returns.
VS_OUTPUT output;
// Set the output position to the input position and set
// the w-component to 1, as the input position is a 3d vector and
// the output position a 4d vector.
output.position = float4(input.position, 1.0f);
// Multiply the output position step by step with the world, view and
// projection matrices.
output.position = mul(output.position, worldMatrix);
output.position = mul(output.position, viewMatrix);
output.position = mul(output.position, projectionMatrix);
// Pass the input color unchanged to the pixel shader.
output.color = input.color;
// Return the output struct to the pixel shader.
// The position value is automatically used as the vertex position.
return output;
}Pixel Shader
// The pixel shader input struct must be the same as the vertex shader output!
struct PS_INPUT {
float4 position : POSITION;
float4 color : COLOR;
};
// The pixel shader simply returns a 4d vector representing the vertex color.
// It receives it's input as a parameter just like the vertex shader.
// We have to declare the output semantic as color to it gets interpreted
// correctly.
float4 main(PS_INPUT input) : COLOR {
return input.color;
