Hi all,
Would you like to have access to DirectXTK12 port based on vortice.windows?

Is something you would consider using? Sponsor to have support for?

Same applies to DirectXTex, DirectXMesh.

Suggestions?

Maybe not a lot of demand for DirectML yet, but the same would go for DirectMLX

How are you thinking of structuring these helper projects? Separate repos or more projects on this repo? I have a fair amount of DMLX ported in my own project, but currently interweaved with my other libs.

I plan to have new separated repo, not that much time at the moment tho :)

@paulbartrum what do you think about having something like DirectXTK using Vortice.Windows?

[paulbartrum]

I've used this project (DirectXTK) quite a lot, for inspiration as to how to build a memory (sub-)allocator, DDS loading, how to play audio, and a few other things. But I'm not sure a direct port is that useful. It's more like sample code than a library, at least to me. That's not to say that sample code isn't useful! But I doubt many commercial games use DirectXTK as a library, and I guess the number of people who would want this ported to .NET/Vortice is pretty small.

Many games use it while prototyping* and/or in their content pipelines and/or when there are unfortunate couplings between dependencies*.
It would be nice to have.
