Type-Safer Modern High-Level Performant OpenGL
Does anybody have some sample code (example or project) lying around that shows modern use of OpenGL (3 or 4) using some or all of the following libraries: - DerelictGL3 (Org) - DerelictGLFW3 (Org) - Glamour - gl3n I'm planning a graph visualization engine in D and I would like to use as high level D language abstractions as possible to implement this in OpenGL. With modern I mean use of more high-level abstractions that more type-safely handles efficient (vectorized) processing of 2/3/4-D geometry (gl3n) and allocation and use of Shaders, VBO, etc similar to what http://kifri.fri.uniza.sk/~chochlik/oglplus/html/ does but in D of course :) This example https://github.com/Dav1dde/glamour/blob/master/example/example.d is good a start, I guess, but I would like to use GLFW3 instead. Speaking of GLFW3 I also wonder why there are two wrappers for GLFW3: - https://github.com/Dav1dde/glwtf - https://github.com/DerelictOrg/DerelictGLFW3 and what the major differences are. I could hack this together myself but if anybody already has put the pieces together why not reuse?

Dgame use VBO's and VBA's for the TileMap: http://dgame-dev.de/?package=System&module=VertexBufferObject http://dgame-dev.de/?package=System&module=VertexArrayObject http://dgame-dev.de/?package=System&module=VertexRenderer http://dgame-dev.de/?package=Graphics&module=TileMap and it has a FrameBufferObject implementation: http://dgame-dev.de/?package=System&module=FrameBufferObject But I'm not sure if that is helpful for you.

Everyone likes to make their own, why not. http://code.dlang.org/packages/ Here is a list in alphabetical order: anchovy batch-engine dash DGame GFM (my own, PLEASE, PLEASE CHOOSE ME) GLamour + gl3n graphite three.d ...and probably many others. From your library choices, it seems https://github.com/vova616/BatchEngine and https://github.com/Zoadian/three.d should be pretty close to what you want.

GFM (my own, PLEASE, PLEASE CHOOSE ME) From what I've seen so far I like the structure of GFM the most :) On thing though...why did you choose SDL2 of GLFW3?

GFM (my own, PLEASE, PLEASE CHOOSE ME) I'm trying to build your package using dub but I get the error θ61° [per:~/justd/gfm] master ± dub Error executing command run: Main package must have a binary target type, not none. Cannot build. I'm using a recent build of dub from git master. What is wrong?

I get the same behaviour, but this looks reasonable to me. dub tries to build the package named "gfm", which has targetType "none" because it's an umbrella package to group sub-packages. What you can do instead is just referencing the sub-packages you need in your dub.json. Should work then.

What I really like in SDL is the software/DirectX renderers, which provides a tiny feature set, but allows reliable rendering with no graphics API whatsoever :). In all case you will be able to use gfm:opengl with GLFW, to create and select an OpenGL context is the only requirement.
