Atrium (code name) is a work-in-progress science fiction game with physics based puzzles (gravity effects, force fields, etc) akin to Portal or Inverto. The game is fully written in D, it uses custom graphics engine based on OpenGL and SDL. Physics engine is also written from scratch.

Great looking game, nice work. Are there any plans to distribute the GUI/Gfx and physics components as separate libraries?

They already exist as separate libs:

https://github.com/gecko0307/dgl

DGL (graphics engine) is currently falling behind from the game and may contain bugs, but I eventually update it.

I visit your blog time to time and sometimes download demo. Really glad to see improvements. Definitely will wait for the release to play.

Did not know about Inverto, should check it out too.

It looks good and the physics simulation seems to work really well, congratulations.

Nice, graphics and physics look impressive in the demo video.  If you ever want to try and get it on Android, let me know if I can help.  I'll have a build of the ldc cross-compiler up for download in an hour, will be announcing it soon.

Very cool!
How have it been to work with the GC?
Reddit it! Maybe with an writeup?

I tried to fully avoid GC, using my own malloc-based allocator. This lead to the fact that the code is not very D-ish, but it proves that there's perfectly possible to write real-world GC-free applications in D.
