Thats fine except I don't want to make it a full project.

If someone else wanted to make it into a full fledged pool game so be it, but I don't have a keen interest in polishing it at the moment.

We should have a couple of demo apps perhaps that could be downloaded when people download D.  Graphics/games would be ideal as they are appeal to just about all programmers.

Do you think it would work as a new page in the tutorial wiki? www.dsource.org/projects/tutorials/wiki

Or maybe you could upload it to the bindings project?

I created the d_lab Yahoo! group way back when because there was a growing need for a place to upload random stuff to share with the D community. Then dsource came along, and it seemed to do a better job at filling that role. Maybe we should start using d_lab again? Or maybe a Google group would be better? (The main problem with Yahoo! groups is that people have to join and log in to download items from the Files section.)

Yeah. Everybody likes games.

From now on I will put Digg and Reddit buttons on my blog posts, I submitted one article myself to reddit, and I got about 100 hits from reddit within the first 24 hours. Not sure how good marketing it will be for D, though, far from everything is positive (or at least I don't pretend that D is ready for primetime, and try to expose frustrations that seems to get lost in the newsgroup) ;)
