My DirectX 12 playground.

It's written in C++ and HLSL. Uses DirectX 12, PhysX and WinAPI. It's a fourth iteration after one OpenGL engine, one DX9 and one DX11.

It was never meant to be the most performant - I'm more interested in writing clean, object-oriented code, learning things, and just having fun. That's why Ghurund contains many small debug tools, and unit tests. I wrote a couple of small games using Ghurund, but that's also not my goal. I enjoy programming in C++, learning 3D graphics, physics, etc. It's really handy to have my own project for that, that can be quickly set up to test certain things, like atmospheric scattering shaders.

I'm using WinAPI and MSVC-specific features in this project, so you won't be able to compile it with GCC nor run it without Windows.

• Editor - the editor for Ghurund, wip.
• Messenger - a simple text messenger using Ghurund's networking.
• Preview - a simple resource viewer for Ghurund resources.

A couple of demos and samples, mostly for checking whether the project compiles and runs fine.

Unit tests for Ghurund features. Tests also include performance tests, compilation tests, and other tests that aren't really 'unit'.

• BindingGenerator - generates bindings for UI widgets.
• ShaderCompiler - compiles shader files using Ghurund to quickly validate shader code correctness.
• SystemInfo - prints info about detected CPU, GPU, memory and display modes.

To build your own version you need the following tools:

• Visual Studio
• Premake
• DirectX 12
• PhysX
• TinyXML-2
• CRC
• Box2D
• assimp

• PhysX
• MSDN
• samples and MiniEngine from Microsoft
• GPUOpen Libraries & SDKs
• X3DAudio

• DirectX tutorials
• ReadDirectoryChangesW
• rendering techniques by Hiago DeSena (DX11)
• gamma correct rendering, linear space lighting
• PBR, PBR (OpenGL)
• Self Shadow blog
• Making a Multiplayer FPS in C++

• HLSL Development Cookbook
• Real-Time 3D Rendering with DirectX and HLSL
• GPU Gems
