For those who are interested in game programming, geospatial
things, 2D graphics etc. Earcut is a polygon triangulation
library originally written in js and ported to almost every
popular language (except D). I was playing around with my
hobby sdl game and needed to draw some concave polygons. So, I
have just ported the lib (suitable for betterC). My initial
tests showed that it is fast that can be used for real-time
rendering. If you have a function that can draw triangles, you
can draw concave/convex any polygon which can also have holes.

Out of curiosity, why would you need to triangulate polygons
instead of using stencil buffer? I'm assuming you're using
OpenGL (or something similar) since you talked about your hobby
game. Any advantage of triangulating shapes? (anti-aliasing
maybe?)
I am not using opengl, but just sdl for no reason. I am trying to
make a clone of a particular type of game namely wolfied, qix, or
gals panic. Actually, I did it using cocos2dx (clipping node does
the trick) in js few years ago. But this time I am trying to
reclone it using just d and sdl by going bare metal. The ultimate
target is running it on the browser maybe using dscripten.
