Yes, partially. I originally wrote that little class in C++ to simplify the creation of little old console style games. The D1 version simplified the C++ quite a lot and was the first serious project I did in D. The thing I like most is the frame.run method that is automatically called on a timer. Saves so much boilerplate from the old method; made me feel like I was coding for DOS again! > Powerful techniques indeed I've really been liking main() mixins recently. My CGI code includes a mixin GenericMain() which gives you a function that automatically wraps your function in an exception handler that outputs HTTP 500 responses and lets you take the CGI class as an argument, so you can do a cgimain(Cgi cgi) instead of main(string[] args). Maybe a variety of these "alternative main" implementations might be a cool addition to the standard library, though I'm not sure how much help it would actually be outside something like CGI where there's several lines of boring boilerplate to convert to a better error output. > I've seen you have just added your D implementation on the > RosettaCode site, I may tweak it a bit, if you don't mind. Of course, have fun!
