Hey, I have a question: Will there be an interface (may a framework) to OpenGL in the future?

There are, and have been, bindings to OpenGL for years.

Derelict: http://www.dsource.org/projects/derelict (bindings to lots of media/games-oriented libraries including OpenGL)

dglut: http://www.dsource.org/projects/scrapple/browser/trunk/dglut (something)

Alex, you should google for "ABA Games" or "Kenta Cho". He wrote a number of very good freeware games (source included) using D and derelict (and I think OpenGL, IIRC). Although, it was a few years ago, so the source is probably based on really old versions of D and derelict.

I'm pretty sure he used DirectX, and he wrote all his own bindings. But you're right, the code is probably compatible with DMD ~0.100. Aaaancient.

Awesome game btw.. the reason I started using D.
