Is it already buildable? Any samples work? Nice that you're working on
it.
Not buildable yet, but i've managed to get it started building in dub
and resolved almost all of the dependencies with it. The only one it's
missing is the bindings for GLU directly which i'll likely end up
writing out of the engine once it starts compiling and then breaking
during linking from unresolved symbols and such.
Most of the APIs it used have changed in the 2 years or so since it was
last really updated so there's quite a bit of work ahead, and I plan on
getting it to GL3+ once it's building and the demos run. The fun part
will be to get it to be idiomatic D2 once it's building and working, I
imagine that will be a nearly never-ending battle unless someone just
rewrites large parts of it (this might end up happening if I get to it).
It's definitely got enough of the boilerplate stuff for building a game
that doing this port should certainly help me with my project so I
figured I'll let it help other's too.
That said I've made some good progess these past two days on getting it
to build at least so it should hopefully not be much longer (hoping i'll
have it building but not running properly in a week or so).
I had planned to remove the dependencies on GLU and port to GL3 as well.
You might look into ASSIMP for importing assets and model files.
Skeletal animation is broke because I never could get the collada
skeleton to lineup with the rest of the model. I was missing a matrix
transform somewhere.
