New to wikis?

 * You should keep all information you place here in high quality. This is where people may go for serious questions about DirectX programming.
 * Do not use words like me, you, I, we, etc.
 * Anyone can edit this, make sure that you put good information in this wiki and make sure that information already in this wiki is correct.

Locked Pages?
I, being User:ModMaker, can "lock" pages to ensure that only some of the following can edit pages: If pages are being abused, spammed, or harassed, then I will protect the page to ensure that the information is correct. Most times, I will not lock Discussions pages, however if they are being abused, I will also protect them too.
 * Unregistered Users
 * Registered Users
 * Administrators

How to help out

 * Look at the main page too see a list of things that I want done. I will list things like:
 * New Pages that I want made
 * Edits to other pages
 * Tutorials that I want made, see below
 * and to make a page longer, also see article stubs
 * Look on the Microsoft MSDN too see if I have missed something.
 * Read what has already been written to see if it has been messed with, the information is Copyright Infringed, or is just plain incorrect.
 * Any link that is in red does not have a page for it. Please make one for it, however do not make a blank page or a small page.  Get more information about the topic before making the page.

Tutorials
I will also be making tutorials that will explain how programming will work. I will provide a massive Class that will encompass everything in DirectX. It will contain functions that can be called to show a tutorial to a topic. Because I am worried about spam, I am the only one that will be making the tutorials. The download will be free and open-source, however the pages that explain the syntax for it and the download links for it will be protected. For more information, see Tutorial.
