If you really want to learn DirectX11 then the Rastertek tutorials are excellent... you will have to write quite a bit of code (there are lots of different things to set up when opening up a window from scratch), but it's reasonably well documented.

http://www.directxtutorial.com/LessonList.aspx?listid=11 has a lot more documentation if that helps, but you'll want to head back to Rastertek for more interesting effects.

nothing I new'd inside of DrawFont

But if there's something you've allocated in the DrawCall class, then it's not going to be de-allocated when you delete your DrawFont instance.

For a parent class's destructor to be called when you delete a derived class, said desturctor has to be virtual.

SiCrane meant that if you're creating a process that isn't a console application, the CREATE_NO_WINDOW flag is ignored... i.e. only console applications will spawn without a window.

The most you should do is a.b().  

I've always liked a quote from Brian Kernighan regarding debugging:

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it

What frob said is spot on

You are multiplying red by green, so it's 0.

Ah hah haaaa, I feel dumb Thanks for that!
