Unleash the Power of DirectX 12 in Your Delphi and FPC Projects with UBOS Asset Marketplace

Are you a Delphi or Free Pascal (FPC) developer eager to tap into the cutting-edge graphics capabilities of DirectX 12? Look no further! The UBOS Asset Marketplace now offers a robust and meticulously crafted solution: DirectX 12 Headers for Delphi and FPC (DelphiDX12). This asset empowers you to build stunning, high-performance applications and games by providing direct access to the DirectX 12 API within your preferred development environment.

What are DirectX 12 Headers for Delphi and FPC?

This package provides a comprehensive set of header translations specifically designed for Delphi and FPC, based on the Windows SDK 10.0.17763.0 (October 2018 release). Unlike some existing solutions (JSB headers), this translation is independent, ensuring compatibility and addressing known issues, particularly within the FPC environment. The code is licensed under the permissive Apache License 2.0, allowing for worry-free use in both commercial and open-source projects.

Why Choose These Headers?

• Modern and Up-to-Date: Built on a recent Windows SDK, you gain access to a contemporary feature set of DirectX 12.
• Commercial-Friendly License: The Apache 2.0 license grants you the freedom to use these headers in any project, commercial or otherwise, without restrictive obligations.
• FPC Optimized: Addresses the limitations of JSB headers in FPC, specifically concerning interface handling and abstract classes. This is critical for a stable and functional FPC DirectX 12 implementation.
• Pascal-Centric Design: The helper files are carefully translated to align with Delphi/FPC conventions, including adaptations to handle function default values, ensuring a seamless and intuitive development experience.
• Bitpacked Records: Take advantage of FPC’s BITPACKED RECORDS feature for optimized data structures and memory usage.

Key Features:

• Complete Header Translation: A full translation of the DirectX 12 headers, providing comprehensive access to the API.
• Helper File Adaptations: Helper files are translated to be fully compatible with Delphi/FPC syntax and coding practices.
• FPC-Specific Optimizations: Addresses known issues and takes advantage of FPC-specific features for optimal performance and stability.
• Inline Function Support (FPC): Inline functions within interfaces are translated for FPC, boosting performance where applicable (ongoing work).
• Apache 2.0 Licensed: Use these headers in any project, commercial or open source.

Use Cases:

• Game Development: Create high-performance 3D games with stunning visuals using the power of DirectX 12 in Delphi or FPC.
• Scientific Visualization: Develop advanced scientific visualization applications that require the rendering capabilities of DirectX 12.
• CAD/CAM Software: Build professional-grade CAD/CAM applications with hardware-accelerated rendering.
• GPU-Accelerated Computing: Leverage DirectX 12 for general-purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing tasks within Delphi or FPC.
• Modernizing Legacy Applications: Introduce modern rendering techniques into existing Delphi applications by incorporating DirectX 12 functionality.

When to Use These Headers:

• Ideal Scenario: You are starting a new project and want to leverage the power of DirectX 12 from the ground up using Delphi or FPC.
• FPC Focus: You must use these headers if you are working with FPC due to the known limitations of JSB headers.
• License Preference: You require a permissive license like Apache 2.0 for your project.

When to Consider Alternatives:

• Existing JSB Header Dependency: You have a large existing codebase heavily reliant on JSB headers and are hesitant to undertake significant refactoring.

Getting Started

Integrating the DirectX 12 Headers for Delphi and FPC is straightforward. Simply download the asset from the UBOS Asset Marketplace and follow the included instructions for incorporating the headers into your Delphi or FPC project. The package includes examples to help you quickly understand how to use the headers and leverage the power of DirectX 12.

Powering Your AI Agents with UBOS and DirectX 12

While these headers primarily focus on graphics rendering, their integration with the UBOS platform opens doors to even more powerful applications. Consider using DirectX 12 to render visualizations or simulations driven by your AI Agents developed on UBOS. For example:

• Real-time data visualization: An AI Agent analyzing sensor data could use DirectX 12 to render a dynamic 3D representation of the environment.
• Simulation and training: AI Agents could be trained in simulated environments rendered using DirectX 12, providing realistic and efficient training data.
• Interactive AI experiences: Create engaging and immersive AI-powered applications with stunning visuals.
