I don't know, is it good project for GSoC or not, but I will be happy if it will be done. (and yep, I really use DSFML in my projects) P.S. Thank you for DSFML.

Certainly worth the effort but I'm not sure it's a good GSoC project, as I wonder if this is the kind of grunt work that they want to sponsor and if it's enough work for a whole summer. That would all depend on more details about what you think needs to be done. Yeah, that's a pretty fair assessment I think. Not being sure if this would be good for GSoC is the reason I asked and it's also the reason why I am considering other projects as well. I just wanted to start with something I know I could do within the given time frame and something that I thought would be really useful for the D language and community. If I get similar feedback from other people, I will probably work on a different proposal.

GSoC Project Feedback - iOS and Android versions of DSFML
Hi all, I have been working on a proposal for the upcoming GSoC, and its to a point where I wanted to get some feedback on things. I maintain DSFML, a wrapper and binding to the C++ game library SFML. Essentially the core of my proposal is to add the ability for binding to build iOS and Android versions which can then leverage recent work on LDC to build and run on these mobile systems. SFML can already target these OS's, so most of the work is done there. Barring anything extreme, this would allow D programmers to easily work on games for mobile devices pretty much as soon as that functionality is officially released in the LDC compiler. I think that's pretty damn awesome. There are a few other things in my proposal, like updating some things and fixing some bugs, but Android and iOS support is pretty much the meat and potatoes. For those interested in seeing the actual proposal I am working on, I have provided the link below. Just know that this is my first draft and *a lot* of revising and editing still needs to be done. https://github.com/Jebbs/DSFML/files/160669/DSFML.Summer.of.Code.Proposal.-.FirstDraft.pdf Please let me know if you think this is worth the effort and would make a good GSoF project.
