The Chili Framework is designed as a vehicle to make it fun and easy to learn C++ in a graphical context. It wraps a bunch of pain-in-the-ass WinAPI and Direct3D bullshit giving us direct access to the framebuffer for manipulating screen pixels. This allows us to explore basic graphical concepts at the same time that we are learning the fundamentals of the C++ language. Our research shows that this results in a 69% lower incidence of learners shitting themselves to death out of sheer boredom.

The Game class is where you put the code to make the game do its thing. The predefined member functions UpdateModel() and ComposeFrame() are where you put your game logic and your rendering code, respectively. Game is composed of the Graphics object used for drawing and keeps a reference to the MainWindow object to interface with the Windows system (which includes the keyboard and mouse inputs).

Criticisms
Some people resent a proprietary framework being used in the tutorials. Fuck em.
