D Bits- Setting Thread Affinity on Windows in D April 3, 2012When working with D's standard library, it is sometimes necessary to work around missing declarations in the core.sys.windows.windows module. It's a fairly big module as is, but it isn't all-inclusive. If you are doing any heavy-duty Windows development, you'll likely want a... […]
- Putting D's Array Slices to Use March 8, 2012I've been working on BorderWatch a little bit every day. My focus has been on getting the ASCII engine, Arthur, into a state that will let me get a game up and running. With the few modules that I've implemented so far, I believe I'm there.

I’ve finally gotten around to adding support for OpenGL 3.0/3.1/3.3/4.0 to the Derelict 2 branch. If you’re interested in using modern OpenGL support, head on over to the Derelict project page for info on how to obtain the Derelict 2 … Continue reading
Libraries and Version Statements (or I Feel Really Silly)
Some time ago, I took the wholly needless and obsessive step of segregating all of the non-platform-specific OpenGL extension types and function declarations into version blocks in DerelictGL. There’s DerelictGL_EXT for the GL_EXT family of functions; DerelictGL_ARB for the GL_ARB … Continue reading
Yet Another News Roundup
Once again, I’ve fallen way behind on D news. For a while, it was a bit dry. Then in the past few weeks a few announcements came and I kept putting off reposting them here. So, here’s some of the … Continue reading
