Hi, The second London D Programmers Meetup is now officially scheduled for Tuesday 24th March. As usual it's sponsored by Skills Matter and will be at their awesome training facility. This meetup will be all about an awesome robot battle tournament. Come along and bring your laptop and be prepared to build a tank robot that can destroy the opposition in our custom made 2D battle arena. I've used the very excellent DSFML library for the graphics so it's looks nice :) If we come up with a super tank we may start challenging other D meetup groups to a robot tank battle royale extravaganza!! So watch out!!! Here are the details - spread the word: http://www.meetup.com/London-D-Programmers/events/220610394/ thanks --Kingsley
