Hi D lovers,
We managed to win the demo compo at the Numerica Artparty #2 with a D demo entry.
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=52780
Source code will be released soon under the WTFPL because some sceners were interested in D.
As I understood, C++ is usually prefered by demosceners over D because of supposed "performance problems" with D, which are in fact negligible regarding the productivity gain.
Though, despite the usual pleasure to use D we encounter several compiler bugs in dmd 1.040. These bugs were somewhat random and would disappear during a 2nd compiling attempt :
- frozen compiler (often)
- circular dependencies (less often)
- I think debug{...} directive would not compile despite -debug switch
Thanks for the good work and for this near-perfect language ^^
