Hi,
Thinking about SoC I though that starting a DirectX 10 implementation
may be a
good summer of code project. I do not mean implementing the full d3d10
lib,
that would be way to much, more starting the infrastructure. Henri
disagreed
with the idea, so I thought I'll write a mail for public discussion :-) .
Looking at the timeline for SoC I hope it isn't too late.
My idea is to start a d3d10 implementation up to the following point:
-> Add a winver Windows Vista to make version checkers happy :-)
-> Create the d3d10 lib and start the .idl file for header generation
-> Write stubs for the functions to allow the app to create all the
interfaces
-> Write test cases for reference counting. ddraw and d3d9 show that
Microsoft
does not stick to its own COM rules
-> Make methods that have already 1:1 equivalents in wined3d call
wined3d. Add
other methods as required to wined3d.
-> Implement them as far as you feel like :-)
I think the good thing about this is that there are is not much knowledge
about wined3d and d3d10 necessary at the start. The one who works on
it can
learn the d3d10 interface while writing the stubs and learn about wined3d
when starting to call it.
Opinions? Suggestions?
Cheers,
Stefan
The concept is nice, and I'd like to learn 3D graphic APIs better. But
when I consider DX10, I don't have any DX10 apps, nor do I have Vista.
I'd also be concerned if it is even properly documented if I were to
start that way. So I'm not thinking I want to do DX10. However, this
idea can be considered with any API that is currently not implemented.
So I think I'll want to try this with a smaller more widely used API.
