data containers

[Moritz]

Thx for all your replies, but I hoped for a hint on how to implement it, 
since Im new to D.

@Lars Igesund: I considered Tango, but I had some issues with derelict, 
so I stopped the installation and decided to give phobos a closer look. 
But I bought the tango book, and will surely try tango out after I got 
some of my game ported and running in D.

@Steven: Ill try to use arrays first (for the sake of simplicity and to 
understand a bit more about D), and Ill try your collection afterwards 
(supplying the missing data containers in a project is surely a great 
idea, thank you!)

And pls forgive me if Im asking silly questions, but thats what 
beginners usually do :-)
