I am interested in the game jam idea, although -- with all due 
respect -- I prefer to use other 'engines' such as CSFML D 
bindings.

> 2: Why did you started using D for developing games?

I started a week or two ago and it's been going well. I just like 
2d graphics and I want to improve my D language knowledge. I like 
2d games and the pixel art style so I'm thinking of making that 
type of game.

CSFML D bindings.

It's easy to use and fast.

> 3.2: What do you dislike about the framework you're using?

It's low level, is not OOP so I have to create pseudo OOP 
functions with templates, I also don't have access to some 
abstract classes, it's not too bad though.

Also, the syntax is quite long such as `sfRectangleShape_setSize` 
instead of `setSize` or simply `sfRect_setSize`.

Should I have picked SDL? Am I just being that annoying kid in 
class for picking CSFML?

I wish there was an OOP based SFML bindings (not sure how you'd 
go around doing that...?) as D is an OOP language and I like OOP. 
It's still possible to write OOP with CSFML, so it's not too much 
of an issue.

I'm a noob I don't know what 'betterC' means.

2d game, I am targeting all platforms, but my main goal is Linux 
as Windows/MAC is proprietary NSA spyware.

I don't care about money when it comes to writing code. 
Everything I have made so far is FOSS and will continue to be 
FOSS, I don't like proprietary stuff. I will make a serious 
project in the future and it will be FOSS.

Btw this is a snake game I recently made (still WIP) so check it

apologies if I didn't answer things well, I am tired and it's
