The problem is 'no available video device' when trying to init 
SDL. I've recently wiped/re-installed this machine so something 
must be missing. I've googled extensively and tried all the 
suggestions on the SDL wiki to no avail:

https://wiki.libsdl.org/FAQLinux#I_get_the_error:_.22no_video_devices_available.22

Whenever I try to learn a new language I always seem to end up 
fighting the OS or the IDE rather than spending time where I 
should. Therefore, I'm going to put this idea on hold and stick 
to console programs for a while (tried to install ncurses as well 
earlier but dub doesn't like the "~master" setting in dub.json - 
grrr!).

Cheers
