Hello D Community,

I need to implement a priority queue heap for Blaze's continuous collision
detection scheme, and was wondering if anyone would be willing the help me in
this endeavor.

Blaze project page: 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/blaze

Basically, I need to store and sort all (potential) dynamic collision events
detected during a time step based on time of impact (TOI). For all potentially
colliding objects, the TOI and contact information needs to be stored in a
list. Objects may have more than one potential contact. If two rigid bodies
collide, all future collision events (collisions with a greater TOI) involving
either one of the two bodies need to be invalidated.

I've found a C++ implementation, and may need help integrating into Blaze:

Any help/thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Mason

There's one in OpenMeshD that I ported from C++.
It's very efficient but kind of has a weird interface.

But I forgot to mention that it's LGPL because that's what the C++ 
source was.  Probably the original authors would be willing to change 
the license on that one file if we asked, though.
