digitalmars.D - OctoDeskdex: D language program for your pleasure

Hi folks

Just want to share some insights about what you can achieve with 
the D programming language and the Sciter library, which I use 
for making the GUI interface.

I've written the OctoDeskdex app, which is basically the Github's 
Octodex page in a desktop version. Source is available at: 
https://github.com/midiway/OctoDeskdex

It uses my https://github.com/midiway/sciter-dport library which 
let you Sciter technology 
http://www.terrainformatica.com/sciter/main.whtm in D language.

If anyone is interested in this kind of GUI library, I can write 
more about how to use it

regards

Actually, I think you would see more interest if you just went 
ahead and wrote more about it.

It looks very interesting, but looking at the sources, it seems D 
is just being used as a container for an HTML/javascript 
application. Is there a way to use D for the internal logic too? 
For example, if I wanted to write a multi-platform game, but not 
do it in javascript how would I setup my screen (canvas?) and 
control what's shown from D?

Yes, you can use D or C++ for the backend (internal logic), and 
there is an entire API for the backend->frontend conversastion.

You can access and manipulate the DOM from the backend, as you 
can do it also through scripting (the language that Sciter 
technology supports is called TIScript, very similar to 
javascript).

I recommend do to all the UI logic through scripting. You will 
need to use the native D/C++ side for the system stuff, like 
feeding the HTML/CSS/img resources, loading the HTML page, 
creating the HWND, ...

I'm interested in this - if you could write up a tutorial or 
something I would try it out
