Blaze is a program that simulates 2D physics written in D. http://www.dsource.org/projects/blaze It's an engine, but it comes with an extensive demo that is and can be used as benchmark. So I think it can be used for your purposes (but I don't know how many memory allocations it performs). Bye, bearophile

So I think it can be used for your purposes (but I don't know how many memory allocations it performs). It performs *way too fucking many*. ;) Which, I suppose, would make it a good GC benchmark.

I'll take a look at the demos then, thanks for the tips. -- Leandro Lucarella (luca) | Blog colectivo: http://www.mazziblog.com.ar/blog/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aprendan de la primavera, que antecede al verano, precede al inverno y no lo anda diciendo por ahí. -- Ricardo Vaporeso.

A game engine that does *any* allocations per frame? My employee would kill me for writing something like that!

You have no idea how many professional game companies write sloppy code, they're not all over-optimizing code zealots like Carmack :)

EA is notoriously good for that, but they do spend 3x as much on marketing as they do on development so go figure. Their games run way slower at medium settings than games by, say Blizzard, would at high settings.
