Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a 2D game engine for Dlang that offers flexibility but has a high-level interface, preferably less verbose. Although I've explored options on GitHub and in general, I haven't found something that exactly fits what I need.

Often the recommendations mention SFML, SDL or OpenGL (obvious links), but I would like to consider those options only after exploring engines with less verbose APIs.

I don't need much, I'm just looking for suggestions for engines that meet these criteria. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you for your time.

Sorry, ignore the "higher level interface" part, I was referring to a less verbose, higher level API.

raylib, take your pick from 5 or so different bindings

There is godot-dlang, while it is not a D engine but just bindings, the Godot itself is a full featured engine including both 2D and 3D, it has UI framework and editor too.

I haven't even heard of any other D engines with editor btw, but unless you are need something minimal to make a basic one screen game with minimal build size it is a nice feature to have.
