dgt 0.2.0

libdgt

A D Game Toolkit library

The project is written in D to take advantage of its ability for both low and high level programming. There's no need for a separate scripting language like Lua; both the engine and high-level code can be written in the same language.

Required tools to build

• dub, the D package manager
• A D compiler, usually DMD

Feature List

• Texture loading and rendering
• Automatic batched rendering
• Camera / viewport system
• Polygon, rectangle, and circle rendering
• Basic geometry module with circles, rects, etc.
• TTF Font rendering
• Sound playing API
• Streaming music API
• 2D tilemap for pixel-perfect geometry checking
• Particle system
• A basic Immediate Mode UI system
  • A button with different hover and pressed states
  • A slider that can allow for a non-discrete set of values
  • A carousel with a set of rotating values
• Automatic letterboxing
• User-created shaders
• Sprites and animated sprites
• Gamepad API
• Tiled JSON format support

Examples

The example assets are stored using Git LFS. You'll need to install it to download them.
