    Project mention: How can I take a screenshot quickly enough to take 60 in one second? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2022-11-21

    Using Go screenshot libraries which use win32 are much too slow, and don't take screenshots quickly enough. While looking into this problem, I found that even in C, win32 screenshots don't get near to the speeds needed for 60fps. I was told at some point to try using DirectX to take a screenshot, and so I found some Go bindings: https://github.com/gonutz/d3d9, and I'm realizing that I do not know how to use DirectX at all. Does anyone know how I can get started with DirectX? How I might be able to just take a simple and efficient screenshot with it?
