Hi everyone,

during my development of a little game engine in my spare time 
with D I created a couple of libs and wanted to announce one of 
them that I find particularly useful.

A Dynamic binding for the Steam API:

dub: http://code.dlang.org/packages/derelict-steamworks
github: https://github.com/Extrawurst/DerelictSteamworks

I can finally announce this as the latest sdk release (1.34) 
includes a flat c-api by default that these bindings use.

There is a demo app in it that shows how to use especially the 
callback system (the only tricky part) and is my proof of concept.

BUT: The SDK is huge and I know that not every callback is 
supported yet since that is not strictly typed and you may need 
to add those based on the documentation when you stumble upon one 
not present yet.

In any case let's create the first platform independent game 
written in D on Steam!!!!

Cheers,
Stephan

Awesome! That's something I've always planned to get around to 
some day. Glad you got there first :)

Mayhem Intergalactic could have been platform-independent([1] and 
[2]). IIRC, it was written with D1. DerelictSDL and DerelictGL 
were used (probably from Derelict 2) as Crispy mentioned halfway 
down the thread at [3]. I know he did some work on Mac, but it 
appears he only ever released on Windows. There's probably an old 
newsgroup announcement somewhere.
