Ah, game code.  Well I'll let the game programming folks take this one, 
then.  ;-)

If you can't show your code, then perhaps the best thing you can do is 
to read the code of existing games that people have made with D.  I know 
Kenta Cho has code you can look at 
(http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/index_e.html).

Probably others can suggest examples of what they think are nicely coded 
games in D.
