Not Yet Implemented (Low Priority)

Direct2D (d2d)

• Prefer straight up Direct3D? Or GDI?

DirectCompute

• I have no need for GPGPU honestly

Out of Scope

Direct3D 10

Prefer Direct3D 11:

• Available on all the same OSes / platforms (at least with service packs)
• Feature levels can target the same hardware
• Safer refcounting semantics
• Extended API

D3DX

Prefer rust stuff:

• D3DX is "deprecated" / excluded from windows sdk
• Banned on some targets (windows store, xb1?)
• File format parsers in C++ just seems like a security issue (although cargo package spam is also a supply chain security issue?)

DirectDraw

Prefer Direct2D or Direct3D

• Not old, rotting, and deprecated

DirectPlay

Prefer native (UDP?) socket APIs and perhaps SteamWorks or other store vendor specific API for matchmaking, nat punchthrough, ...?

XAudio 1

Prefer XAudio 2:

• Exists, unlike XAudio 1?
