title: DirectX 11.2 in Visual Studio 15
body: <p>My friends and I go to a vocational school for computer programming. We got together and decided to start making games, but the problem is only two of us have. I've made a text adventure game using lots of buttons and lots of forms in Visual Studio, and my other friend has made a few games using GameMaker. All of us have the same basic knowledge of Visual Basic (due to being in the same Programming course) and we want to try our hands at making a 3D game. I've done a little bit of research, and determined that we may need to use DirectX if we wish to keep using Visual Studio.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is, I don't know how to start really. I've tried looking it up. Is it possible to access the API using just Windows and Visual Studio?</p>
  
  <p>Also, based on what I can tell, we need to know C++. If that's true, then we'll convert to C++ to make games. It shouldn't be too difficult, I'd imagine.</p>
