Yea, I had something in the works as well (and then a million other
side-projects beside that, just like every D programmer out there..).
The most difficult part to implement for me was the layouts. Actually
I only got that half-way done. But having a backbuffer system,
dirty-region blits, alpha blending, mouse tracking (e.g. select and
move widget), signals/slots, those things were done in a matter of
weeks (mostly because there's already usable code out there, e.g. a
newer std.signals, the new CairoD bindings for drawing, win32
bindings, etc) . It's just a fun project I like to play with once in a
while. But now that wxD is on github I'm going to use that for some of
my projects. It's all too easy getting worked up with an "engine"
instead of the actual "game", if you know what I mean ;).
