D - Gl and Glut in D

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..

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.
