Making Video Games Accessible: Business Justifications and Design Considerations: descibes how to add basic accessibility features to games. Coding For Multiple Cores on Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows: gives some advice on how to get started with multithreaded programming. New Technical Articles This release includes three new technical articles: Graphics APIs in Windows Vista: describes the new display driver model. For a full list of changes, please refer to the August release notes. Several APIs have been added, renamed, or removed. Developers will notice that syntax has changed for several of the Direct3D 10 core APIs between the Windows Vista Beta 2 and Windows Vista RC1. The Windows Vista RC1 will be available to MSDN ® subscribers.

See the XACT Event, Play Wave reference for more information. XACT: 3D Pan Property New properties on the Play event allow a sound designer to specify a panning direction for wave playback of mono or multichannel content. This allows you to inspect how the data changes as it flows through the pipeline for each draw call event. The 3D data is displayed in wireframe and numeric forms for each stage of the rendering pipeline: before vertex processing, after vertex processing, after the geometry shader, and in screen space. PIX: Current Mesh Viewing It is now possible to view the mesh data for the currently selected draw call event. In future releases it will also show the contents of HLSL variables and will allow source-level stepping. Currently the shader debugger shows register contents. If the shader was compiled with debug information and if the HLSL source file is available, the source code will be shown as well. You can step through the assembly instructions, set breakpoints, and restart the shader from the beginning. PIX: Direct3D 9 Shader Debugging PIX now enables you to debug vertex shaders and pixel shaders inside of a single frame capture. What"s New in the August 2006 DirectX SDK This version of the DirectX SDK contains the following new features, tools, and documentation. Do not install this SDK in Windows Vista for releases prior to RC1. NOTE: This DirectX SDK contains Direct3D 10 components that are not usable until the Windows Vista RC1 release. It includes run-times, headers and libraries, samples, documentation, utilities, and support for C++ and Managed Code development.
