💖 NAME 💖

SDL_HINT_RENDER_DIRECT3D11_WARP — bestie, this is the variable that decides whether you're using the Direct3D 11 WARP software rasterizer or not. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_RENDER_DIRECT3D11_WARP "SDL_RENDER_DIRECT3D11_WARP"

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, if you want the deep lore, the actual official tea is over here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3darticles/directx-warp

That's literally the whole Microsoft explainer, no cap. 🫶

Now the variable itself can be set to these two values, and it's giving very binary:

• "0" — Disable the WARP rasterizer. This is the default, so if you say nothing, you get this. 🙈
• "1" — Enable the WARP rasterizer. Software rendering era, let's go. 🔥

⚠️ important bestie: this hint should be set before creating a renderer. Set it after and it's not gonna do the thing, iykyk. 😭

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈
