A quick side exercise to see how little code one can get away with to put that RGB triangle on screen using D3D11 (without bending over backwards with trickery). This is a complete app in < 40 LOC (including the HLSL).
For more.. useful.. D3D11 reference code, see the original Minimal D3D11, Minimal D3D11 pt2 and Minimal D3D11 pt3
Minimal WASAPI reference implementation. Runnable console application contained in a single function and laid out in a linear, step-by-step fashion. No modern C++ / OOP / obscuring cruft. Produces a steady sine wave sound.
(This is a re-post of the same gist I posted a few years earlier, simply due to me wanting the Minimal D3D11 series to be listed contiguously and it's not possible to hide or rearrange gists).
