Hi everyone, I am writing a tutorial teaching the basics about multimedia programming using the arsd library. This is a library all D programmers should have since it is very useful and easy. In this tutorial I will teach in a fun and easy way how to use it for GUIs, image displays, games, etc...

Hi,

please consider using Dub, this will reduce a lot of complexity of the tutorial.
Everything you need to run this arsd based application is just use 1 command: dub app.d

```
/+ dub.sdl:
    name "application"
    dependency "arsd-official:cgi" version="3.0.1"
    subConfiguration "arsd-official:cgi" "embedded_httpd"
+/

import arsd.cgi;

void main()
{
    cgiMainImpl!(handle, Cgi, defaultMaxContentLength)(["--port", "5000"]);
}

void handle(Cgi cgi)
{
    cgi.setResponseStatus("204 No Content");
}
```

Kind regards
André

I really dislike that you use screenshots of code, it makes copy-pasting impossible. There are ways to produce pdfs with colored, copyable source code (like using RST for redaction then rst2pdf for production, but I'm not sure it'll be the easiest for you).

Very nice, thank you !
As has been pointed out by others, it would be great if code snippets could've been copyable.

Thanks for the feedback André(are you Brazilian too?) but the primary reason I chose this library is because it does NOT require a package manager at all and I think that makes it simpler.

I will change that now. Thanks for the advice, it did not occur to me that copy-pasting was important because I always prefer typing the whole code in order to practice and learn better.

Guys, go check how it is now, I think it is now very good, it has several pages and several code examples(no screenshots).

Hi Guys. I am nearly done with the tutorial and it is now very complete, it now teaches how to use the arsd library to draw all sorts of stuff and to receive mouse and keyboard input. I think you will like it. If you use it and like it please let me know because I would be very happy to see my work being spread. Cheers.
