Hey all! I'm learning programming through D and having a really good time (much better than with C++ or Python). I'm aiming to make little games with it as a hobby so I've learned some OpenGL stuff. But, I feel like I'm learning more library code rather than D concepts and idioms, especially where efficiency and performance are concerned. (I also have a light interest in functional programming for when it would make sense to employ those principles.) Are there any tutorials that show off the power of D with worked examples that explain the importance of certain features?

It's moderately-well documented and I am more than happy to help and provide examples if it interests you https://github.com/pineapplemachine/mach.d/tree/master/mach/sdl

A lot of it was too advanced for someone like me, but I learned a few things! I try to learn a lot about programming in general, so I got into Data Oriented Design. I don't touch OOP stuff, I use POD structs and enjoy the benefits of UFCS and CTFE. They really make life much simpler. Your library looks really convenient, too. And it's called pineapple machine so that's a plus. I'll try and have a mess around with it this week and see how far I can get, then will probably ask a bunch of questions. :DHey all!
