Hello,

FewDee is an incomplete, experimental, mostly 2D, library focused on games prototyping.

The official Mercurial repository is here:

   https://bitbucket.org/lmb/fewdee

And there is a Git mirror here:

   https://github.com/lmbarros/FewDee

This is work in progress. It is usable(*), but still needs lots of
improvements.

  (*) I used an early version of FewDee in a prototype that worked even in
a public demonstration ;-)

I wasn't afraid of using D any features in FewDee, so I used (and even misused) lots of associative arrays, delegates, GC'ed memory... it might be interesting to see how it will behave in more demanding applications.

My plan now is to stop working directly on FewDee; instead, I intend to actually use it in a few more game prototypes. Then, I'll use this experience to further guide the library evolution.

Lastly, this is my first sizable D project, so destroy with kindness ;-)

Cheers,

LMB

It's intresting. Do you have any game prototype? It will be intresting to see FewDee usage.

About build system - you can use dub:
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/dub
It's really simple.

Also, can you publish Allegro library bindings for D to the Deimos:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos
It can be useful for another projects.

SiegeLord maintains Allegro5 bindings. Worked flawless for me so far.

Great! I've been wanting something like this for some time!
Maybe you can consider posting it on: r/programming/ and r/d_language/

Will try it out later :-)

So far, I used FewDee (a very early version, in fact) in one prototype only, but it is not open source. I hope to develop some simple examples I can share during the next months.

Yeah, I should probably consider using it. (Even for its package manager
features.)

I should have mentioned that I am using SiegeLord's Allegro bindings, which someone else has already mentioned down the thread:

Can you publish a video of the game to the YouTube.com whitout any source codes?

Sorry, I don't want to invest the time to do this right now. I know this would be important to "sell" FewDee to new users, but getting users isn't my focus at the moment. Anyway (better than nothing, I guess), I have a few screenshots here:

Some background: I made this in a rush, for my aunt, who frequently works training restaurant employees in best hygiene practices. She was working in her academic specialization, defending the usage of games to train these people.
