nuclear@1: 1. Overview
nuclear@1: 
nuclear@1: D3DUT is for Direct3D 11, what GLUT is for OpenGL.
nuclear@1: 
nuclear@1: In a nutshell, d3dut handles window creation, Direct3D setup, and event handling,
nuclear@1: in an easy and intuitive way. The API is essentially identical to the GLUT API,
nuclear@1: allowing you to create multiple D3D windows, and to set up per-window callback
nuclear@1: functions for event delivery.
nuclear@1: 
nuclear@1: Here is a short snippet that shows how to create a Direct3D 11 window and set up
nuclear@1: event handlers with d3dut (a full example program is included under the example
nuclear@1: subdirectory):
nuclear@1: 
nuclear@1: 	d3dut_init(&argc, argv);
nuclear@1: 	d3dut_init_window_size(800, 600);
nuclear@1: 	d3dut_init_display_mode(D3DUT_RGB | D3DUT_DEPTH | D3DUT_DOUBLE);
nuclear@1: 	d3dut_create_window("window title");
nuclear@1: 
nuclear@1: 	d3dut_display_func(display);
nuclear@1: 
nuclear@1: 	d3dut_main_loop();
nuclear@1: 
nuclear@1: It's that simple, exactly like in GLUT: d3dut_main_loop handles all the event
nuclear@1: processing, and calls your registered callbacks. After d3dut_create_window the
nuclear@1: Direct3D device, context and swap chain are completely created and initialized
nuclear@1: and you may start loading textures, creating vertex buffers, etc.
