CDX is coming back. A game development library I’ve kept alive for over 10 years still has a place for developers. Over the coming months you’ll see changes and enhancements to the site along with new releases of the library.
The principles of the library still hold true today. Simplify DirectX code by focusing in game code. Provide simple game style wrappers like sprites and screens to developers allowing them to code games, not plumbing. The principles will continue into version 4.0 of the library.
There are a lot of other changes going on around here too. The site has been migrated and moved to WordPress, a fantasitic and highly extensible blogging and content management platform. The codebase will be updated to the latest DirectX releases and moved from SourceForge to CodePlex. XNA 4.0 support will be added and the library will move into the managed world, allowing for its use on Windows PCs, XBox 360 consoles, and Windows Phone 7 devices.
Stay tuned and sit back. We’re back and things are about to get a whole lot busy around here again.
