Learning DirectX 11 with Windows 8.1 SDK 8.1

My journey through the book, Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX 11 by Frank D. Luna.

The book implements the examples against the older June 2010 DirectX SDK. Instead, I am implementing against the Windows 8.1 SDK installed as part of Visual Studio 2013.

• DXERR.LIB is not a part of the Windows SDK, so a streamlined version of the library from Chuck Walbourn (MSFT) is included.
• Include D3DX11INLINE and ShaderHelper from Alex Jadczak.
• Use DDSTextureLoader from DirectXTex texture processing library for texture loading.
