Hello everybody

I was wondering if anybody converted the header for glut. Also i was wondering if anybody converted gl and glu 1.4 and is there any chance that these will be put into phobos.

I would like to start my game engine development in d. Is d ready for this. I have heard that d is very stable now, is this the case.

Thanks, Ben

I use Pavel Minayev's from here: http://int19h.tamb.ru/files.html

You will need to go through and convert the "extended"s to "real"s.

You'll need a debugger made to work well with COFF to do much more than a demo.  The D compiler is shaping up pretty nicely though.  It is still pre-release so expect some changes to the language to happen.

Hello Sean

Thanks for the info. I really haven't used a debugger anyway. I have always
followed linus thought of debugger are bad. So I read the code instead, but
sometimes it takes time. I do everything in small increments and review
everything.
Thanks for your responce..
Ben

When the compiler doesn't do what it's supposed to do, or something unplanned, unexpected, unexplainable, something really bad happens, a good debugger is invaluable.  Worth its megs in gold.

A debugger is other than that, quite handy, because it lets you snoop around and collect clues as to what might be the problem.  Saves alot of time.

Not having a good debugger for D is what keeps me from using it for more than little tests.  Maybe if someone knows how to get VS.NET to do a better job with COFF debug info it'd help alot.

I frequently use WINDBG with it. Works fine.

I've been having pretty good success these days with VS.NET.  Still problems with locals, and occasionally it won't let me put breakpoints where I want too, but not that bad.
