Chapter 4. Show Something Onscreen!
So far, the code you've written hasn't been all that exciting. In the Chapter 3, “Understanding the Sample Framework,” you spent time examining a lot of the sample framework code. Although it's important to have this code written, you don't get the great excitement of seeing your creation onscreen as you would with the graphical portions of the game.
The framework code examined in the last chapter was leading you to the position of being able to render fancy 3D graphics, so get ready. You're about to write your first 3D rendering code.
In this chapter, you'll learn
How to create the Direct3D device
How to render onscreen
How to load a mesh
How to create your camera
