I've updated the BindBC bindings (to the Simple Direct Media 
Layer (SDL) library and its satellite libraries to support the 
following:

SDL 2.0.12
SDL_image 2.0.5
SDL_mixer 2.0.4

This is available in bindbc-sdl 0.16.0:

http://bindbc-sdl.dub.pm/

A few notes:

The SDL maintainers have moved to a system of labeling public 
releases with even patch levels and development releases with odd 
patch levels. SDL 2.0.12 is the first release of SDL under that 
system. The same goes for SDL_mixer 2.0.4. SDL_image 2.0.5 was 
released before it took effect.

There is no difference in the public API of SDL_image versions 
2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4, and 2.0.5, other than the value of the 
SDL_IMAGE_PATCHLEVEL constant.

SDL_mixer 2.0.4 added support for OPUS files. The only API 
changes aside from the patchlevel constant are a couple of new 
values for the Mix_InitFlags and Mix_MusicType enums.

Yes, which is why I have an SFML binding in Derelict. I’ll be 
porting it over to BindBC soonish.

There isn't a "hello world" example with bindbc-sdl ? Would very

Everything you need to know that's specfic to the binding is in 
the readme.

I was asking something like this : 
https://github.com/Zardoz89/dlang-bindbc-sdl-example1

Yeah, anybody could do this before reading SDL2 documentation, 
examining a few SDL2 examples on C/C++ and D (outdated derelict 
examples that only shows a translucent window). This take me two 
afternoons and was something very dumb.

This kind of lack of examples or documentation, not helps to make 
D more popular.

I disagree. There are numerous examples of SDL on the internet. 
There are sites full of SDL tutorials. bindbc-sdl is a binding. 
It doesn't change the API. I'm not going to write example 
programs for every library I create bindings for when plenty of 
examples exist.

There's this level of convenience that is triggered when you see 
a sample demo. It seems some library authors don't get it.

For libraries, absolutely.

For C bindings - no. Just remember the special things like 
library loading, and for the rest just copy a random C/C++ 
example.

loadSDL();

That's it. It's in the readme.
