Yea, my simpledisplay.d (and its dependency, color.d) has some 
code for creating a window, drawing on it (including some OpenGL 
stuff now), getting input, and drawing on images using OS native 
things.

color.d has a color struct, some hsl <-> rgb functions, and a 
basic image framebuffer class.

Also in the repo is png.d which can load and save many png files, 
bmp.d for bmps, and minigui.d which builds on top of 
simpledisplay to add some basic gui widgets. There's also 
stb_truetype.d which is a port of the public domain C library for 
loading ttfs in a single file without a dependency on freetype or 
anything.

I still haven't uploaded image_basicdrawing.d because it sucks 
and I plagiarized one of the functions, but that thing uses the 
class in color.d and adds stuff like "draw line", "draw circle", 
etc. to it so you can draw without a backing screen.



While simpledisplay.d works reasonably well, its code is pretty 
ugly (half the file is just bindings to Win32 or Xlib), minigui.d 
is still far from complete. Most my work lately has been web UIs, 
so I just haven't had the push to finish it...
