Hi

I'm looking for a 2D games library in D2 similar to gosu from

Does such a thing exist?

I use Dgame which has a really nice and simple interface

http://rswhite.de/dgame4/

 From the web page:

Dgame is a 2D framework which is based on the SDL and OpenGL, and 
is designed for the D programming language. The design is based 
on Pygame and as well on the SFML from the C++ programming 
language.

Cheers,
Stew

I'm looking at DGame - I'm on osx - so I guess I have to build 
all the dependencies myself <sigh> - Once I get it installed and 
working - it looks like it may be enough for what I want.

I guess I'll have to make it work with dub myself to make it 
easier to get started with.

DGame has a dependency on Derelict 3 - but going to the link 
provided says that project is no longer maintained and doesn't 
work with the latest DMD compiler. It points to a new location 
where there are multiple different Derelict libraries - I'm 
hoping DGame will work with one of those still.

Chiming in with my own library. https://github.com/Jebbs/DSFML

Things are a bit of a mess, but I'm gearing up for a release soon 
and things will be all nice and tidy and structured.

I really want to check out DGame but I suggest withholding from 
it until it becomes actively maintained again.

I'm using DSFML and it is one of the easiest. Though I had 
strange issues like high ram usage and text not rendering. Though 
the ease of use and performance is phenomenal.

I will try to fix the Derelict 3 mess this weekend. Putting it on 
DUB will take some more time, which I don't have currently, 
because I have my exams right now.

I've just managed to get building with DUB and submitted a PR.

NOTE: You will want to review the diffs carefully because I've 
had to change some things like Derelict import paths which may 
break non-dub builds.

Feel free to reject the PR if the breakage is too great and 
cherry pick anything you find useful. Or I can amend the PR if 
that helps also.

Thanks,
Stew

Thanks for the heads up. I'll open an issue to inspect RAM usage, 
but can you let me know when you were having Text rendering 
issues so I can inspect that too?

I started getting text rendering issues when I was playing with 
my space background render textures. It's kinda strange cause 
they seem unrelated.

Hi - I started using dsfml - I really like it! The fact that 
there were pre-built zips to download for my platform was 
awesome!! Got started straight away.

I have been googling but not found a nice answer. I want to make 
an explosion from a list of 20 images. sfml doesn't seem to have 
very good support for doing that kind of thing. I have seen an 
external thing called thor - but I guess I'd have to port that to 
D - maybe a bit beyond my skills at the moment.

If anyone has an example of creating an explosion from images 
using dsfml please post it so I can learn :) :)

you will see why I need this pretty soon :)

It can help: http://pastebin.com/tJxLvKm8
(from "SFML Game Development" book, Chapter 8: Every Pixel Counts 
– Adding Visual Effects, Animated sprites)

It's C++, but I think it is easy for porting to D

same here. when i first saw the name libgosu i thought "wow, gosu 
guys made a game lib" and then when i went to the libgosu website 
i saw that it has nothing to do with gosu, the jvm programming 
language.

for teh lazy, libgosu website says: "Gosu is a 2D game 
development library for the Ruby and C++ programming languages, 
available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux"
