News and Opinions of the Digital Mars D Programming Language
D game programmers will be interested in this. Mason Green has announced Blaze, a 2D rigid body dynamics physics engine. It is based off of Glaze, Chipmunk and Box2D. It currently provides a sequential impulse solver, stacking and non-convex models via partitioning and covering. More is on the todo list.

I meant to post this a few days ago and it slipped my mind. Jonathan Breuer put up a postmortem on his experience using D to develop a little game as part of the process of learning the language. Based on some of the steps he took, I can see there is a need for more up-to-date tutorials to help people get up and running.

Yet another D game: TankWars. This one is open source and has a project page over at DSource. Developed by Clay Smith, it is currently unfinished. It uses Tango and Clay’s ArcLib (which in turn uses Derelict :)). Clay started the project for school and says on his blog that he likely won’t be finishing it. So if anyone wants to take up the challenge of completing it, it’s waiting there for you!

More D game goodness! Guillaume Chéreau has set up a project on DSource for his open source game, guisterax, a 2D Asteroids clone. The game is built on Phobos and uses Derelict.
