dagon 0.11.0-beta2

Dagon

The goal of this project is creating a modern, easy to use, extendable 3D game engine for D language. Dagon is based on OpenGL 4.0 core profile. It works on Windows and Linux, both 32 and 64-bit. It doesn't support macOS because Apple doesn't support OpenGL anymore.

Dagon is still under development and lacks a lot of important functionality. Currently it is not recommended to use Dagon in production due to unstable API. Follow Dagon development on Trello to see priority tasks.

If you like Dagon, please support its development on Patreon or Liberapay. You can also make one-time donation via PayPal. I appreciate any support. Thanks in advance!

Usage

To use latest stable Dagon, add the following dependency to your dub.json:

"dagon": "0.10.3"

If you want to test new features, use beta version: "dagon": "0.11.0-beta2".
