I've been searching the internet looking for game engines that I
can use Dlang to program, but they are always the same ones; say
Dagon, Raylib, Derelict and even BindBC. But I wanted to ask you
if you could mention any other game engine that uses D for
programming that I might not know, it would help me a lot (I
guess).
Incidentally, could someone explain to me what exactly this does:
"public final pure nothrow property safe safe nogc ref
File file file() {
return _file;
}"
It's code from a dub package (specifically one called
"terminal"), but I don't understand why all that.

Worth to mention Hipreme engine (https://github.com/MrcSnm/HipremeEngine) for advanced developers.Incidentally, could someone explain to me what exactly this does: "public final pure nothrow property safe safe nogc ref File file file() { return _file; }" It's code from a dub package (specifically one called "terminal"), but I don't understand why all that.Just return private File member of the class in the property.

But I wanted to ask you if you could mention any other game engine that uses D for programming that I might not know, it would help me a lot (I guess).Although not technically a D engine there is Godot engine and godot-dlang bindings for it which you can use to write engine plugins and game logic in D (though for most parts I would just stick to built-in scripting language). I guess godot is the only thing if you are ever to finish and publish a game. While there is low-level libs and even frameworks like Dagon/Raylib, making an entire game with them is way too much work for a single person. (Unless of course it is not a micro scope level with just one game screen like tic-tac-toe)Incidentally, could someone explain to me what exactly this does: "public final pure nothrow property safe safe nogc ref File file file() { return _file; }" It's code from a dub package (specifically one called "terminal"), but I don't understand why all that.It's probably to troll the reader. There is also missing attributes like 'scope' and 'return'. No seriously, there was complaints about attribute soup in the past but honestly i'm not sure if this will even compile. If you are honestly asking though, just use what you really need, no need to slap every possible attribute.

HipremeEngine by now brings the same usability from Love2D, right
now I'm working with more game development inside it for better
improve both its performance, consistency and battle test it. If
you do want to try, feel free to message me at D discord.
Right now, it is your best choice in D for cross platform dev. I
don't know about godot-d and how it behaves when you need to ship
to other platforms.
I wanted to started also a development blog since I am unable to
post on medium but I didn't want to do posts on hidden websites.
Any recommendation on well known programmers stuff which I can
post with markdown, I'm going for it.
