first, you have to write your game engine in C++. just fire your
favorite text editor and start coding.

second, you have to write your game logic in D. just fire your
favorite text editor and start coding.

third: now you have to connect the first and the second, but don't be
afraid: you will never come to this part, actually.

Manu Evans has pretty much this, he's active on this newsgroup, 
maybe he can help you: https://github.com/TurkeyMan/fuji .

But "writing a game engine" is not something you can simply do 
quickly or that someone can do for you. It can take years 
depending on what the engine is supposed to do. Connecting C++ 
with D is a trivial detail compared to all the work involved.

I would not recommend writing a game engine (make games not 
engines) and why do you want to write the engine in C++ and the 
logic in D? I suspect that it is easier to write everything in 
the same language.
There are several D gamedev frameworks and engine out there, 
http://code.dlang.org/, there are projects that don't use dub 
(fuji for example). But some of them are certainly not up to date 
so you will have to check the commit logs for activity.

he doesn't come here for D, nor for doing something productive even for
himself. i know this type by their first words. you can see me
willingly helping people that come for something, even with simple/newb
questions.

but i can't see any reason to try to help someone who doesn't even know
what he wants, and didn't take time to ask a proper question. been
there, seen that. trying to refine such questions and/or answer to 'em
is just a waste of time, he will make everyone who's trying to figure
out what he *really* wants sick and then he will go away.

so maybe it's better to ask me and/or try to figure out my behavioral
patterns before telling me that i'm alienating newcomers? maybe i have
a solid reasons for acting like this...

I'd prefer if you would respond to such people by staying quiet. 
This has several advantages:

     • No one accuses you of scaring newbros away
     • It does not take any of your time
     • You won't get sick
     • Only people that spend to much time here in the first place

Ironically you're replying to the message you weren't supposed to see :o).

All, especially market and ketmar and those who like to get into

kept a really nice atmosphere for a long time now, and it's sad to see 
it's become quite a bit less so in recent times.

I'd like to attract your attention to a much more important AND urgent 
matter. The dpl-generated docs are now the default on dlang.org. Sadly 
the conversion is imperfect and there are still quite a few issues that 
stay unresolved, most of them trivially simple and embarrassingly 
parallelizable. Please join those of us who are chipping in to fix them.


Thanks,

Isn't it better for the community to politely reign in those who 
misbehave? Elitism is terribly damaging, we want D to be what

Well, it's one thing if you make that decision about people who are in contact 
with you personally.  It's a bit different if you are unilaterally deciding to 
make that decision as a member of a collective forum of people, because in that 
case it's a bit of an imposition on the rest of us.

i.e. just because _you've_ decided that he's a timewaster, doesn't make it OK 
for you to try and make him feel unwelcome in a forum that belongs to a wider 
community.

Also, I don't know if you've ever had any contact or experience of this person 
in some other online space, but if not, it seems a bit harsh to jump to such 
judgement straight away, even if you've previously had bad experiences with 
people asking questions in a similar style.

It's not about intelligence, and I'm surprised that an 
intelligent man like you would think otherwise.
It's not reasonable to generalize community based upon only one 
member of said community, but it still happens. Everywhere, to 
everyone, because humans are like that. Instead of admitting of 
being unwelcoming, you swing the other way and accuse people of 
being not intelligent enough. That's absolutely ridiculous 
behavior that should not be acceptable in any friendly community.

So lets get this straight...

1. I reply to you for maybe the third time and you think I am

2. You are proud to draw the attention of old men because it's 
"fun" to listen to them moan.
3. You enjoy collecting perverts.

When I was young and being on a network meant a BBS, the usual 
reply was "RTFM". I guess the modern age version of "RTFM" is to 
dump a URL:

http://dlang.org/cpp_interface

Unforunately, dlang.org lacks a proper C++ binding tutorial, so I 
guess this "RTFM" might turn into a "WTF! WTFM!".

No i dont. I want to use D language for as much as possible. The 
reason I want to use C++ for the engine is that it always has 
full support for DirectX.

so i was wrong here. i'm sorry. yet you'd better explain your reasons
right in the question next time, so other people can jump right to the
answering, without guessing first what you *really* want to do and
*why*.

as you talking about "full support for DirectX", i'm supposing that
your engine will support 3D environments? so you'd better start with
writing the engine itself, and don't think about D here. just don't use
things like multiple inheritance or excessive templating.

when you'll get a solid working engine, it will be time to discuss how
to build D interop with it, exploiting your engine's architecture as
much as possible.

or just start writing the engine in D. maybe you'll consider using
OpenGL instead of DirectX, as we not only have bindings for OpenGL, but
OpenGL is much more portable. so eventually your engine may be ported
to MacOS X, for example, without rewriting the whole rendering part.

D has built-in support for COM and can interop with DX just fine.

So how can I get started with Directx programming in D? Could you 
give me a link to maybe a binding or some projects on github?

You can find bindings for DX 9 & 10 as part of the Win32 API bindings at 
[1]. Some work was done on a DX 11 binding for the Aurora graphics 
project [2], but I don't know how complete it is. If you need DX 11, 
though, it should serve as a good starting point.

I do this extensively. You can check out how I do D bindings for my
engine: https://github.com/TurkeyMan/fuji/tree/master/dist/include/d2/fuji
And also a project that uses it: https://github.com/FeedBackDevs/feedback

You're welcome to use my engine if you like. It's pretty
comprehensive, portable, and it's always nice to have other user
feedback. I can also provide some level of engine support.
