Over the years, I've seen so many 2d game frameworks/engine get 
started and abandoned here. I would recommend DSFML if you can 
get it to work. I really like the SFML API design. With that 
said, here are some I looked at:

https://code.dlang.org/packages/d2dgame (based on SDL2 by 
WebFreak001, not sure how mature it is though, see a demo at 
https://github.com/WebFreak001/D2DGame/blob/master/example/source/app.d)


https://code.dlang.org/packages/dagon (Mostly 3d, but can do 
3d/2d games too. The most advanced of any D game 
engine/framework. Tonne of work poured into it)

https://code.dlang.org/packages/pixelperfectengine (retro games, 
I have seen several YouTube demos by the dev)

https://code.dlang.org/packages/godot-d (Godot is quite 
popular..used in commercial game. Not sure how good and easy to 
use this binding is though)

https://themindofmurilomiranda.blogspot.com/2020/01/space-invaders-game-example-to-learn.html (Murilo Miranda has this tutorial he pulled together after working tirelessly and asking many question on using Adam's arsd package here, I like this guy's tenacity)
