Download MSVC compiler/linker & Windows SDK without installing full Visual Studio

This downloads standalone MSVC compiler, linker & other tools, also headers/libraries from Windows SDK into portable folder, without installing Visual Studio. Has bare minimum components - no UWP/Store/WindowsRT stuff, just files & tools for native desktop app development.

Run py.exe portable-msvc.py and it will download output into msvc folder. By default it will download latest available MSVC & Windows SDK from newest Visual Studio.

You can list available versions with py.exe portable-msvc.py --show-versions and then pass versions you want with --msvc-version and --sdk-version arguments.

To use cl.exe/link.exe first run setup_TARGET.bat - after that PATH/INCLUDE/LIB env variables will be updated to use all the tools as usual. You can also use clang-cl.exe with these includes & libraries.

To use clang-cl.exe without running setup.bat, pass extra /winsysroot msvc argument (msvc is folder name where output is stored).

Transvoxel's Modified Marching Cubes Lookup Tables
//
// Lookup Tables for Transvoxel's Modified Marching Cubes
//
// Unlike the original paper (Marching Cubes: A High Resolution 3D Surface Construction Algorithm), these tables guarantee
// a closed mesh "whose connected components are continuous and free of holes."
//
// Rotations are prioritised over inversions so that 3 of the 6 cases containing ambiguous faces are never added. 3 extra
// cases are added as a post-process, overriding inverses through custom-build rotations to eliminate the rest.
//
// Uses the exact same co-ordinate system as https://gist.github.com/dwilliamson/c041e3454a713e58baf6e4f8e5fffecd

Minimal D3D11 elaborations I

Minimal D3D11 elaborations I

A spin-off from the mainline Minimal D3D11 series, adding two-lane instanced rendering. As before: An uncluttered Direct3D 11 setup & basic rendering primer / API familiarizer. Complete, runnable Windows application contained in a single function and laid out in a linear, step-by-step fashion. No modern C++ / OOP / obscuring cruft.

The main difference here is that the hollow cube itself is rendered using instancing (which saves a lot of vertices compared to the original, so geometry data is now small enough to be included in the source without being too much in the way), but also all trigonometry and matrix math is moved to the vertex shader, simplifying the main code (and not needing math.h).

In this case, each instance is mere
