How to use GFM?

See the examples/ directory, or https://github.com/p0nce/aliasthis as an example of a game.

Design goals

  • Give more power to the library user providing code that will probably need to be written anyway.
  • Each module / sub-package is maximally decoupled (the major pain point right now is the lack of a standard logging facility).
  • Logging interface for everything which need to output messages.
  • Correctness and functionality are favoured over speed.
  • Wrappers are lightweight layers that expose the C libraries objects, turn every error code into an D exception and makes it easier to use the library correctly.
  • As much as possible, GFM emit warnings when something goes wrong, try to recover when it makes sense and log every problem.

Why use GFM?

In the D1 days, I created several multimedia applications:

  • Vibrant: http://www.gamesfrommars.fr/vibrant/
  • Wormhol: http://www.gamesfrommars.fr/wormhol/
  • Extatique: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=53942
  • The Orange Guy: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=52780
  • SeamzGood: http://www.dsource.org/projects/seamzgood

This all came with some insight with how to do OpenGL applications in D. During this time I became acutely aware that my quick & dirty coding style wouldn't cut it in the long run. GFM is the clean successor library to the unfortunate code I was using at this time.
