Microsoft’s DirectX is a free API (Application Programming Interface) that gives multimedia applications their power to work in Windows-based computers.
Games that run in the Windows operating system rely on DirectX because it provides an assortment of drivers and tools that are designed to optimize the game’s use of the available peripherals in the target computer. For example, when a user plugs in a joystick that normally needs drivers to run, DirectX has a generic driver that the joystick can use so it can be used in a game.
