A collection of seven APIs (DirectDraw, Direct3D, DirectSound,
DirectMusic, DirectInput, DirectPlay, DirectShow) produced and distributed
by Microsoft. DirectX was created by Microsoft to provide a set
of api's for programmers to access hardware features such as video
cards and sound cards. There is always a new version of DirectX
being developed by Microsoft so that Windows can provide the latest
software support for the latest video and sound card technology.
DirectX is also free to download and use, and can be found at the
Microsoft web site.
