Top 23 C++ DirectX Projects

  • GitHub repo bgfx

    Cross-platform, graphics API agnostic, "Bring Your Own Engine/Framework" style rendering library.

    Project mention: What would be most beneficial to learn to get back up to speed? | reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming | 2021-12-27

    Perhaps not quite what you're looking for, but I've had a reasonably good experience with bgfx. It's basically 1 level of abstraction above specific graphics APIs (GL, DirectX, etc). It is not a full game engine, just a rendering API.

  • GitHub repo renderdoc

    RenderDoc is a stand-alone graphics debugging tool.

    Project mention: Renderdoc's GPU Selection on a laptop | reddit.com/r/vulkan | 2021-04-19

    Renderdoc works by inserting itself as a Vulkan layer, which means it can change the output of functions if it so chooses. As you can see in the RenderDoc version of vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices it changes how devices are returned, and this likely is the reason the order changes.

  • OPS

    OPS - Build and Run Open Source Unikernels. Quickly and easily build and deploy open source unikernels in tens of seconds. Deploy in any language to any cloud.

  • GitHub repo The-Forge

    The Forge Cross-Platform Rendering Framework PC Windows, Linux, Ray Tracing, macOS / iOS, Android, XBOX, PS4, PS5, Switch, Quest 2

    Project mention: What is the lightest C++ 3D game engine for Linux? | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-12-23

    I haven't tried it, but I heard that this was used for Hades

  • GitHub repo Ogre 3D

    scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine (C++, Python, C#, Java)

    Project mention: Ogre 13.0.0 released! Open Source game engine. | reddit.com/r/linux_gaming | 2021-08-14

  • GitHub repo DirectXTK

    The DirectX Tool Kit (aka DirectXTK) is a collection of helper classes for writing DirectX 11.x code in C++

    Project mention: How to handle multithreading in concept. | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-12-27

    then check up this https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXTK/wiki/Getting-Started

  • GitHub repo xray-16

    Improved version of the X-Ray Engine, the game engine used in the world-famous S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series by GSC Game World. Join OpenXRay! ;)

    Project mention: If software (OpenXRay-engine in this case) has a BSD-style license, does that automatically mean I can make derivative works (eg a new game, unrelated to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) and sell them? | reddit.com/r/foss | 2021-11-28

  • GitHub repo LLGL

    Low Level Graphics Library (LLGL) is a thin abstraction layer for the modern graphics APIs OpenGL, Direct3D, Vulkan, and Metal

    Project mention: Writing game engines in c++, recommendations | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2021-01-21

  • Scout APM

    Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

  • GitHub repo DirectXTex

    DirectXTex texture processing library

    Project mention: SSE CK fatal error | reddit.com/r/skyrimmods | 2021-12-12

    You can use texdiag to see information about a texture.

  • GitHub repo DirectXMath

    DirectXMath is an all inline SIMD C++ linear algebra library for use in games and graphics apps

    Project mention: maths - templated c++ linear algebra library with vector swizzling, intersection tests and useful functions for games and graphics dev... includes live webgl/wasm demo ? | reddit.com/r/cpp | 2022-01-12

    If you’re the author, consider comparisons with the industry standards, glm and DirectXMath, which both ensure easy interoperability with the two graphics APIs.

  • GitHub repo d912pxy

    DirectX9 to DirectX12 API proxy for Guild Wars 2

    Project mention: FPS fixes? | reddit.com/r/Guildwars2 | 2022-01-08

    If none of that is enough try out the DX12 addon.

  • GitHub repo DirectXTK12

    The DirectX Tool Kit (aka DirectXTK12) is a collection of helper classes for writing DirectX 12 code in C++

    Project mention: How to handle multithreading in concept. | reddit.com/r/gamedev | 2021-12-27

    or https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXTK12/wiki/Getting-Started

  • GitHub repo dxwrapper

    Fixes compatibility issues with older games running on Windows 10 by wrapping DirectX dlls. Also allows loading custom libraries with the file extension .asi into game processes.

    Project mention: Star Trek: Armada and Star Trek: Armada II are now available for purchase on GOG! | reddit.com/r/startrek | 2022-01-04

    Officially, there's nothing you can do but wait. GOG may take a while to patch this issue, as they don't have AMD GPUs readily available for testing. Unofficially, you can try the unofficial 1.3 patch by the Fleet Operations Team, and the DxWrapper for DirectDraw by Elisha Riedlinger. Just bear in mind, this may break multiplayer compatibility with unpatched GOG clients.

  • GitHub repo goverlay

    DirectX hook and game overlay solution for Electron, Qt and CEF, just like discord/steam game overlay,inject any app to overlay in your game

    Project mention: Can you have a chat overlay on top of an exclusive fullscreen game? | reddit.com/r/Twitch | 2021-03-02

    I also found this, but I'm unsure how to use it. It could potentially work though.

  • GitHub repo GOESP

    Cross-platform streamproof ESP hack for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, written in modern C++. Rendering and GUI powered by Dear ImGui + FreeType.

    Project mention: Any good cheats with an anti obs. | reddit.com/r/Csgohacks | 2021-08-02
