Hello all,
I am writing a small video game in D.
The game itself is not really innovative, this is just another asteroid like game, but I wrote it as an exercise to learn D.

You can see a screenshot here : http://charlie137.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-game-guisterax.html

The sources can be found here : http://darshak.free.fr/guisterax/guisterax_0.1.tar.gz

The windows executable is there : http://darshak.free.fr/guisterax/guisterax_0.1.zip

Have fun !

Very cool.  Still downloading, but I used to love Maelstrom on my old Mac IIsi.

The video game asterax is now hosted on dsource : http://www.dsource.org/projects/guisterax

This game is my first attempt to use the D language ; It is definitively the best compiled language I ever used ! Waiting forward for the next versions,

Nice! That's a fun game :)

Nice work!  It compiles quite easily on windows with msys, gdc 0.24, and mingw make.  The only change to the makefile for building on windows is removal of "-ldl" at the end of two lines.  Maybe you can add another makefile to the repository for win32 (like Makefile.win.gdc or something) with these small changes?

I also tried "dsss build main.d" which successfully built an executable using dmd... but this binary exits with an exception while trying to load the font surface. I tried to debug this, but nothing seems to work.

The game play is quite difficult.  I like the graphics and sound but I can't progress very far. :-)

Many pardons.  It appears that "dsss build main.d" now works.  A working executable can be made with dmd 1.024.

Thanks for the comment,
I added a mingw target in Makefile. So to compile on windows under mingw you can type "make mingw". Should work I guess, but I haven't try yet.
