Microsoft DirectX 9. is an application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks connected to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. Initially, the names of these APIs all started with Direct, such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so forth. The name DirectX was coined as shorthand term for all of these APIs and soon became the name of the collection. When Microsoft later set out to develop a gaming console, the X was used as the basis of the name Xbox to indicate that the console was based on DirectX technology. The X initial has been carried forward in the naming of APIs designed for the Xbox such as XInput and the Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT), whilst the DirectX pattern has been continued for Windows APIs such as Direct2D and DirectWrite.
