Don't forget to visit the website and the tutorials:
http://dgame-dev.de/
http://dgame-dev.de/?page=tutorial

Also there is now a Work in Progress section where games are 
listed which are written with Dgame:
http://dgame-dev.de/?page=show

There is as yet only one (finished) game of me and a fellow 
student, but I'm sure others will follow.
It is intended to show what is possible and how. Currently it 
consists of only one level, but we're working on it.

Yes I will make this soon. Currently I have not that much time 
besides the bachelor thesis (also a D Project).
But it is on my list! ;)

The Spaceshooter game is only downloadable/direct executable for 
windows because I'm only on Windows. But you can download the 
game from Github and compile it by yourself.
Or did you mean Dgame?

As you can read in the install turorial, on other plattforms you 
have to build the needed *.dll files by yourself but that's the 
only thing you have to do. Dgame was tested on Linux and OSX 
also. :)

I tried it last night for the first time on linux x86_64 and it 
works. Very nice library and easy to use, good work!. I managed 
to hack out a small space invaders level in only an hour or so. 
As for shared libs, I just installed those from the system 
package manager (SDL, OpenAL etc.) it worked flawlessly :)


I did have one build issues though:
Window/MessageBox.d(148): Error: cannot implicitly convert 
expression (this.box_buttons.length) of type ulong to int.

Simple cast to int fixed the problem and I've added an issue to 
github. I'd offer a pull request but it's such a simple change 
and my github access is very limited at the moment.

Cheers,
ed

That's nice to hear! I would be glad if you could share your 
level so I can post it on the website. :)

Sorry, missed this. I'd rather not hand it over in its current 
form, it is pure hack and not exemplary D/Dgame code :D

If I get the chance over the next week I'll clean it up and post 
it.

On second thoughts, it isn't worth cleaning up. It is what it is 
and I leave it up to you to decide if it's too messy to put up on 
the website :D

I've dumped it on github here:

Why not, I like it. It gives a nice retro feeling. :) Simple but 
good images.
I had to adjust a few things, to make it work on Windows (you 
used an ulong for array indexing - dmd 2.064.2 on windows seems 
not to like it.)

Yes, it had very little testing but hopefully you find a use for 
it.

On a side note, the author in the code is Stewart but it is still 
me :). It is my middle name, which the auto-header vim script 
grabs from the login.
