Yep, that's it.
moving all code in world.this() to world.initialize() and
immediately calling initialize, works fine.
````D
g.world = new g.world_t; // code would crash here
g.world.initialize(); // doesn't crash if moved here
class world
{
this(){}
void initialize(){/*...*/}
}
class elf : unit
{
this(pair _pos, atlasHandler atlas/*not used*/)
{
super(0, _pos, pair(0, 0), g.dude_bmp);
anim = new animation(1, elf_coords, g.world.atlas); //not
crashing now
}
}
````
It appears module access to a class is broken until the
constructor finishes.
