Hi

I'm looking for a 2D games library in D2 similar to gosu from ruby: http://www.libgosu.org/ or ray: https://github.com/Mon-Ouie/ray

Does such a thing exist?

Maybe one of these works for you.

I use Dgame which has a really nice and simple interface

http://rswhite.de/dgame4/

From the web page:

Dgame is a 2D framework which is based on the SDL and OpenGL, and is designed for the D programming language. The design is based on Pygame and as well on the SFML from the C++ programming language.

Cheers,
Stew

I'm looking at DGame - I'm on osx - so I guess I have to build all the dependencies myself <sigh> - Once I get it installed and working - it looks like it may be enough for what I want.

I guess I'll have to make it work with dub myself to make it easier to get started with.

DGame has a dependency on Derelict 3 - but going to the link provided says that project is no longer maintained and doesn't work with the latest DMD compiler. It points to a new location where there are multiple different Derelict libraries - I'm hoping DGame will work with one of those still.

Chiming in with my own library. https://github.com/Jebbs/DSFML

Things are a bit of a mess, but I'm gearing up for a release soon and things will be all nice and tidy and structured.

I really want to check out DGame but I suggest withholding from it until it becomes actively maintained again.

I'm using DSFML and it is one of the easiest. Though I had strange issues like high ram usage and text not rendering. Though the ease of use and performance is phenomenal.

I will try to fix the Derelict 3 mess this weekend. Putting it on DUB will take some more time, which I don't have currently, because I have my exams right now.

I got totally confused there for a moment: Gosu is a programming language for the JVM, and nothing to do with Ruby.
