DirectX

DirectX is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) developed by Microsoft that helps software, especially games, communicate effectively with a computer's hardware, such as the graphics card and sound systems. It standardizes how graphics, audio, and input devices are managed, making it easier for developers to create rich and immersive experiences across different Windows computers. Essentially, DirectX acts as a bridge between software and hardware, ensuring games run smoothly and take full advantage of the computer’s capabilities.
