I have some code that might be useful for these, that I've accumulated over time. Warning, ugly code: IMAGE RELATED http://arsdnet.net/dcode/png.d This one is a from scratch PNG library. It isn't quite complete, but I'm using it already in my DWS project - the fetchPaletteWin32, getANDMask, and getFlippedUnfilteredDatastream (nice names, I know) functions can take indexed, semi-transparent PNG files and spit out the pieces to make a Windows ico type icon. Also in there are functions to make doing palette swaps easier. It *should* compile as both D1 and D2. I originally wrote it in D2, but had to use it in a D1 project, so I cut out the immutable, etc. to make it work there. Why not use libpng? When I started it, I just wanted to see some of the bytes in the file. Then it grew from there, since I prefer using small code over bigger libraries. http://arsdnet.net/dcode/dimage Another image thing. It is part D and part C. It reads and writes (some) Windows .bmp files, and can display them on both Windows and Linux. auto a = new BMP("image.bmp"); a.display(); // pops up a window showing the bmp Also allows some basic read/write of the bmp's pixels in memory. NETWORK RELATED http://arsdnet.net/dcode/httpdconnection.d This is a module to my network manager* that speaks HTTP as a server - well, enough of it so my browser could view the pages it served anyway. Still needs more work to be complete, but is already good enough to run a website off. In fact, my one of my websites is written /entirely/ in D, and runs on a custom minimal Linux system that takes a total of 18 MB on disk and 8 MB running! Its IP address has been commandeered, but here's the same program running on another server of mine: http://206.125.170.166:81/ * My network manager is here: http://arsdnet.net/dcode/netman.d and it does sending, reading, and connections using the select() call. Problem with it is it is a little ugly and Linux only. Umm where was I.. I forgot. Oh well, one more: MISC http://arsdnet.net/dcode/exec.d This one offers one function: exec(...) which runs a child process, directing its stdio into strings. It is Linux only and kinda sucks - I made it just for some shell script like things a long time ago. I'd like to redo this to work with input and output ranges, and work across platforms, along with some convenience functions to really kill shell scripting, but haven't had the time. ========== I have a buttload of code here, in various messy forms. (The coolest one is a 2D, networked game engine for D1... no website though. And now of course my d windowing system project is moving along. http://arsdnet.net/dws ) But my weekends only have time to do so much about cleaning it up and posting it to the web. -- Adam D.
