# GH D3D9 Test Environment
This repository contains a simple Direct3D 9 test environment that can be used as a playground for experimenting with Direct3D 9 features, testing hacks, and learning about the inner workings of Direct3D 9.
[More info @ GuidedHacking](https://guidedhacking.com/threads/d3d9-11-test-environments.11934/)
Features
--------
The D3D9 Test Environment provides a basic setup for a Direct3D 9 application, including:
- A native window setup using the Win32 API.
- Initialization of a Direct3D 9 device.
- A simple render loop that clears the screen and presents the back buffer.
Code Overview
-------------
The codebase is divided into two main parts: `WinMain.cpp` and `NativeWindow.cpp`.
### WinMain.cpp
This is the entry point of the application. It sets up a native window, initializes Direct3D 9, and enters the main application loop. The loop handles window messages and calls the `Render` function each frame.
The `InitD3D` function is responsible for initializing Direct3D 9. It creates a Direct3D 9 device and a font for drawing text. It also creates a sprite, which can be used for drawing 2D images.
The `Render` function is called each frame. It begins a new scene, clears the screen, draws some text using the previously created font and sprite, ends the scene, and presents the back buffer.
### NativeWindow.cpp
This file contains the `NativeWindow` class, which encapsulates the creation and handling of a native window using the Win32 API. The `Create` function registers a window class and creates a window. The `Register` function registers a window class with the necessary attributes. The `WndProc` function is the window procedure that handles window messages.
FAQ
---
### What is Direct3D 9?
Direct3D 9 is a version of Microsoft's Direct3D API, which is used for rendering 3D graphics in applications. It's part of the DirectX suite of multimedia APIs.
### What is a native window?
A native window is a window that is created using the operating system's native windowing system. In this case, the native windowing system is the Win32 API, which is used to create windows on Windows.
### What is a Direct3D 9 device?
A Direct3D 9 device is an object that represents a display adapter. It's used to create resources (like textures and vertex buffers) and render graphics.
### What is a render loop?
A render loop is the main loop of a graphics application. It's responsible for rendering graphics each frame.
Prerequisites
-------------
To use this code, you should have a good understanding of C++ and the Win32 API. You should also be familiar with the basics of Direct3D 9.
End Goal
--------
The end goal of this source code is to provide a simple Direct3D 9 test environment that can be used as a starting point for experimenting with Direct3D 9, testing hacks, and learning about the inner workings of Direct3D 9.
The D3D9 project makes use of the DXSDK_DIR macro, so if you don't have that set up you may run into errors. One quick little work around is to just add a new entry to your PATH variable with the name DXSDK_DIR and the value being the path (including trailing '\') to the sdk on disk.
Getting Started
---------------
To get started with the D3D9 Test Environment, you'll need to clone the repository and open the solution file (`TestEnvironmentD3D9.sln`) in Visual Studio. From there, you can build and run the project.
Code Highlights
---------------
Here are a few key pieces of code that you might find interesting:
- `WinMain.cpp`:
- `InitD3D`: This function initializes Direct3D 9. It creates a Direct3D 9 device and a font for drawing text. It also creates a sprite, which can be used for drawing 2D images.
- `Render`: This function is called each frame. It begins a new scene, clears the screen, draws some text using the previously created font and sprite, ends the scene, and presents the back buffer.
- `NativeWindow.cpp`:
- `Create`: This function registers a window class and creates a window.
- `Register`: This function registers a window class with the necessary attributes.
- `WndProc`: This function is the window procedure that handles window messages.
The D3D9 Test Environment is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning about Direct3D 9 or experimenting with game hacks. It provides a simple setup for a Direct3D 9 application, allowing you to focus on the fun stuff.
