I'm a bit unclear myself :P sometimes i want to add more and have 
to tell myself I called it 'simple' for a reason.

But:

So far, Windows and Linux are implemented. OS X is coming later 
(I finally have a Mac here so I can test it myself but I don't 
know Cocoa and am waiting a bit for the D/Obj-c binding to mature 
a lil more. Probably going to do it in 2016.)

Indeed, those work.

Provided in an add-on module right now, joystick.d (in my same 
github)

works!

Partially works, more coming in the next few months. I also do 
naked windows in it (no decorations, any size), clipboard, and a 
few other little things a GUI app might want on the low level.


I'm also working on audio (in a separate module, simpleaudio.d) 
and gui widgets (minigui.d).
