Utilities

For samples, I've created a number of utility headers that help fill in gaps between the device & swapchain templates and the functionality provided by the DirectX Tool Kit. They are all completely optional, but handy. They are referenced in the tutorials and under the class-by-class wiki pages, and here is an index:

Header	Source	Notes
AnimatedTexture.h	n/a	Used for a SpriteFont tutorial. See wiki.
Animation.h	Animation.cpp	Used for a vertex skinning tutorial. See wiki.
ControllerFont.h	n/a	Helper for using game controller symbols mixed with text. See wiki.
DebugDraw.h	DebugDraw.cpp	Draws outlined 3D shapes for debug use. See wiki.
DeviceResources.h	DeviceResources.cpp	Helper for the Direct3D device & swapchain. See wiki.
MSAAHelper.h	MSAAHelper.cpp	Helper for implementing MSAA rendering. See wiki.
ReadData.h	n/a	Helper for loading custom shaders from compiled cso blobs.
RenderTexture.h	RenderTexture.cpp	Helper for implementing render to texture. See wiki.
ScrollingBackground.h	n/a	Used for a SpriteFont tutorial. See wiki.
SpriteSheet.h	n/a	Used for a SpriteFont tutorial. See wiki.
SkyboxEffect.h	SkyboxEffect.cpp	Simple 3D skybox (requires VS, PS, and hlsli shader files as well). See the wiki.
TextConsole.h	TextConsole.cpp	Helper for a terminal-style printf text output on a graphics surface using SpriteFont. See wiki.
