Keep up the awesome work! Very much looking forward to this. 
Because there are much OpenGL ES codes used directly in engine, it will be a big modification of cocos2d-x to use DX directly. We plan to do it in v4.0.
But awesome work, guys.
Iām having the same problem here, any fix so far?
I also get this warning:
D3D11 WARNING: ID3D11DeviceContext::DrawIndexed: The Pixel Shader unit expects a Sampler to be set at Slot 0, but none is bound. This is perfectly valid, as a NULL Sampler maps to default Sampler state. However, the developer may not want to rely on the defaults.Ā [ EXECUTION WARNING #352: DEVICE_DRAW_SAMPLER_NOT_SET]
Great Job. We support you, we have a great game blocked by poor performance on WP8. You are our hope. We cannot waiting the official update, It may be next year. I think for game performance is first important. We do not need lots of useless functions, just a fast and strong platform. By the way cocos2d-x is fast enough on IOS and Android, but so poor on WP8.
Cheers,
Yeah, I have this warning as well. It is because I do not set sampler explicitly which is actually not needed.
I am not plan to add more functionality now since this is all we need for our game. But you have core functions for rendering sprites, atlases, labels, ā¦ You can easily add other nodes what you need inspiring with for example Label or TextureAtlas nodes. Shaders should be ok but there is slightly different approach to define new shader (this can be seen in ccShaders).
Now I will only debug things I added. There are some problems. I will also look at the problem with rendering.
So you are not going to develop this further? Are you going to remove Angle from the project completely? Now it is still there.
Hi,
Could you fix the WP8 project if you have time, I am very eager to see it running on WP8. Please Please Please.
After removing angle and fixing rendering problem it will be easy to add functionality to other nodes.
I think there is a problem in the shaders system, I made all pixel shaders return red(return float4(1, 0, 0, 1)
but I still see the default clear color.

Looking forward to an improvement in speed. Thanks Jiri and everyone else contributing.
I thinks this is most important update for cocos2d-x now. Hope cocos2d-x official can support for this, even if it not complete but give us a choice. A temporary brunch is good enough, it should not take much time but great help for developers. You know WP8 is fast growing and time equals money. If need we can join in. Guys keep this moving. Thanks swap again.
Cheers,

I would love to see this come into fruition. ANGLE is not only non-performant it is outright buggy. In my experience, any texture that extends beyond the right side of the screen gets looped around to the left side on top of itself and z-fights and CCScale9Sprite by default results in a broken texture. This has made using kResolutionNoBorder as in the iOS and Android versions of our app impossible. This is on top of the already existing bugs in the WinRT āsupportā in cocos2d-x (I put it in quotes to emphasize that just because something builds doesnāt mean it is supportedā¦).
I will fix the render problem when I have more time. I will create W8 project to debug it.
Iāve just removed Angle libraries from our project completely

Great news, can you post the changes on github?
swap,
Thank you for your job and contribution
I have found the issue in WP8 cpptest Project, The D3D not setup completely, Eye and model matrix not setup. I am trying to fix it and waiting swap 's update.
Perfect. Can you please commit your fix to the github? Thanks.
perfect.
