Newbie questions. Which Compiler to start with? Real Time behaviour? Has anyone converted CImg yet?

If you mean my little libs, I'm not really aiming for complex 
drawing. simpledisplay.d has the basic functions that all 
operating systems have (lines, rectangles, etc.) and as of 
recently, some OpenGL support for drawing on screen, but not much 
beyond that.

I am working on a generic drawing library that works entirely in 
memory without OS assistance, but again my plan is to keep it 
simple and just do the basics so it won't be anywhere near what 
cimg does. Some of this code is now in color.d on my github, and 
more is in a file called image_basicdrawing that I haven't posted 
online yet.

But I use words like "simple" and "basic" in the filenames 
hopefully to keep people from getting their hopes too high so 
they aren't disappointed when it doesn't do what they want :)
