digitalmars.D.announce - A couple of new libraries

I've been working on a couple of D projects. The first one is a 
game engine at sourceforge.net/projects/d-game-engine; the other 
is a GUI library that I haven't uploaded because I still need a 
name for it. Both are in pre-alpha state, but hopefully they 
won't stay that way for too long. If anyone can think of a good 
name for the GUI library, I'd like to hear it; as you can tell 
from the other project, I'm not great at thinking up creative 
project names.

Does the d-game-engine use an octree ?

I haven't really implemented any sort of BVH yet. I'm thinking 
about using a sphere tree or AABBs instead of an octree, but I'm 
not sure what I'm doing about that. Right now, the focus is on 
fixing and finishing the shader code.

Can you tell us more about the GUI library, like:

* Which platforms and GUI systems it's available on
* Does it use native drawing operations
* Or is it more directed to gaming

It's currently Windows-only, but the plan is to make it 
cross-platform. It's designed for native widgets. So far, it just 
does windows, buttons, and text fields, but adding other controls 
shouldn't be too difficult. The goal is to create as simple and 
intuitive of an interface as possible, even if it means 
sacrificing a few advanced features that are rarely used.

What's the advantage over the existing libraries?
Why have you choosen to build a library from scratch, instead of 
improving an existing one?

Yeah, good question. I could really use some help with DWT.

What's mostly needs to be done with DWT is:

* Updating to later versions of SWT
* Finish the Mac OS X port
* Porting the browser package
* Porting to Linux 64bit
* Possibly port to other platforms

The main issue I've had with other libraries is that I never seem 
to be able to build them right. I also wanted to try out my 
dynamic resizing algorithm and see how simple and flexible I 
could make my code. This is actually my first major attempt at 
GUI programming, so it's also largely a learning project. I'll 
consider helping an existing library, though.

Speaking of help, if anyone has some OpenGL 3+ experience, the 
game engine project has a bug I can't sort out.  I'll write up 
some info if anyone feels like going on a bug hunt.

aboout openGL aldacron has written derelict to use it and maybe it will
do a lib as GLFW does

I'm actually using Derelict and its OpenGL/SDL bindings. I'm just 
implementing a layer on top of those.
