Phew... :) However, there is still more work, like adding a UDA chapter and working on many little TODO items. The following was the final chapter, which actually only scratches the surface of the very broad topic: * Memory Management As a reminder, the book is available as PDF, downloadable from the header of each chapter: http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/index.html Ali This was the book that got me into D when I found it on the web.

After a quick initial investigation I do have some questions regarding API changes and what people prefer in this area. I've posted to the DWT forum. Cheers, ed

It is intended to show what is possible and how. Currently it consists of only one level, but we're working on it. is this just for windows? The Spaceshooter game is only downloadable/direct executable for windows because I'm only on Windows. But you can download the game from Github and compile it by yourself. Or did you mean Dgame? indeed, i meant Dgame. As you can read in the install turorial, on other plattforms you have to build the needed *.dll files by yourself but that's the only thing you have to do. Dgame was tested on Linux and OSX also. :) I tried it last night for the first time on linux x86_64 and it works. Very nice library and easy to use, good work!.
