I've just managed to get building with DUB and submitted a PR.

NOTE: You will want to review the diffs carefully because I've had to change some things like Derelict import paths which may break non-dub builds.

Feel free to reject the PR if the breakage is too great and cherry pick anything you find useful. Or I can amend the PR if that helps also.

Thanks,
Stew

same here. when i first saw the name libgosu i thought "wow, gosu guys made a game lib" and then when i went to the libgosu website i saw that it has nothing to do with gosu, the jvm programming language.

for teh lazy, libgosu website says: "Gosu is a 2D game development library for the Ruby and C++ programming languages, available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux"

This is for 3D but have a look at Dash Engine [1] [2]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll open an issue to inspect RAM usage, but can you let me know when you were having Text rendering issues so I can inspect that too?

This link can give you more information about it:

I started getting text rendering issues when I was playing with my space background render textures. It's kinda strange cause they seem unrelated.

Hi - I started using dsfml - I really like it! The fact that there were pre-built zips to download for my platform was awesome!! Got started straight away.

I have been googling but not found a nice answer. I want to make an explosion from a list of 20 images. sfml doesn't seem to have very good support for doing that kind of thing. I have seen an external thing called thor - but I guess I'd have to port that to D - maybe a bit beyond my skills at the moment.

If anyone has an example of creating an explosion from images using dsfml please post it so I can learn :) :)

you will see why I need this pretty soon :)

It can help: http://pastebin.com/tJxLvKm8
(from "SFML Game Development" book, Chapter 8: Every Pixel Counts – Adding Visual Effects, Animated sprites)

It's C++, but I think it is easy for porting to D
