digitalmars.D - Update on Aurora

reply "Adam Wilson" <flyboynw gmail.com> writes:
I just wanted to post a quick update on Aurora. This weekend I got  
keyboard input working on Windows and I also fixed a flaw in window  
message dispatching that was so heinous I am shocked that the DConf demo  
worked at all. That said it should work correctly on all machines now. As  
an implementation detail I built a simple smart pointer time for DirectX  
COM objects as they have special lifetime rules in comparison to standard  
COM objects.

Next, I plan on getting multiple window rendering support working. After  
that is primitive shapes rendering and associated scene graph objects. I  
will post updates when those are working.

As always you can play with the latest code here:  
https://github.com/auroragraphics/ and pull requests are always welcome.

Sadly I don't have anything that is visually beyond what I demoed at DConf  
so it's still just a blank window. I'm still down in the bowels of  
interacting with the operating system and time has been at a premium  
lately. Once I get multi-window rendering up and running I'll do some  
really simple color animations and post a video. After that I'll start on  
primitives and do a video of the user moving around some a square in the  
window. But there is a lot of infrastructure between here and there. :-)

I just have to ask, "no blinking?"
