It works:

'''D
module temp;

import std.stdio;
import std.string;
import std.conv;
import dcollect;
import std.math;
import std.algorithm;
import std.array;
import std.functional;
import arsd.terminal;



int main(string[] args)
{

     auto terminal = Terminal(ConsoleOutputType.linear);

     int x=30,
     y=3, c=1;

     for(auto i=1; i<=10; i++){

         terminal.moveTo(x,y);
         terminal.writeln(strstring(c,"*"));
         x-=2;
         y++;
         c+=4;}

	return 0;
}

'''

But I'll need help to understand some functions like how we can 
use "readf" equivalent, I don't see it.
