Crazy. Welp, let me go find a gif!

.... 941 rep?

When did I ever earn enough rep on Anime.SE? o-O

...I can say stuff here?

GASP

Trillian is... ... live

Alright

Hum.

Okay guess I gott amake an account somewhere.

Uh

I can't imagine people would clear the color differently than that, though.

Naw. I just made it up on the fly.

Hm?

Shiny bright window.

DUN DUN DUN DUUUHHH

But I got it.

You did. :P

Good choice

Heh

Somewhere at the top, I guess!

Uh

Mmhmm

And what happens when you make multiple windows? :P

Well, it could get complicated fast if we do it that way.

Haha.

That's fine enough. Albeit, our WndProc will have to be a static function to work with that, but that's fine.

Naawww.

Savvy.

Ooh, you take a function pointer.

To get messages we want, we'll add a NextMessage function on the Window class, so we can externally poll for events without worrying about the WndProc actions.

WndProc should be handled by the Window class.

The third. WinMain is for Windows GUI apps. We're making our own windows here.

Oh shit, we have no entry point, haha.

References are meant to avoid copies.

If you pass something by value, then a a temporary is made.

If you pass something down by reference, then no temporaries are made.

x3

and whip me into shape.

And it'll let me know the project has changed

To shock-update me, hit Ctrl + Shift + S

They can then boil that down to whatever they need on their own (device->DeviceContext, device->Device)

Everyone keeps a reference (pointer) to GraphicsDevice.

And the overhead is negligible, because you're not making 100000 texture/vertex/index buffers.

so the holding reference makes it easier to work with.

I don't expect a lot of GpuBuffer-based or Texture-based things floating around,

And keep a reference to it.

GraphicsResource takes a GraphicsDevice (Or in this case, D3dRenderer) by default

All inherit from GraphicsResource, so they always have access to it when they need it.
