Missing templates for DirectX tutorial

[benjamesward]

The very first step of the first part of this tutorial doesn't work when using the latest version of Visual Studio 2019. The DirectX templates don't exist any more, and there is no guidance on where to go from there. I eventually figured out that I needed to install something extra from some guy on Github (https://walbourn.github.io/direct3d-game-visual-studio-templates-redux/), but it's not flagged as an official repository or something that I should trust. Yikes. Please update the documentation to mention that the user will need to install some additional stuff to get started, thanks.

Thanks for filing this issue, @benjamesward. I'm working on updating this topic right now because I want to change the language used in this series to C++/WinRT (from C++/CX). I'll update this thread when I have something published.

Thanks again!
Steve

UPDATE: So, I've published a fix to the issue of the Direct3D project templates not being available for C++/WinRT. And I've updated all of the code snippets to show C++/WinRT instead of C++/CX. I'll go ahead and close the issue.

Thanks!
Steve
