Express your needs! Here are mines.
1. A windowing library to replace some of SDL usage. Some
programs like
audio plugins are usually done without any dependent dynamic
library. It
could also make one less dependency on many small programs. I
would
expect it to be based on Win32/X11/Cocoa.
I'm playing round (on and off) with DWC [0]. Think e.g. GLFW
but only for window / opengl context creation with a feature
set identical on all platforms.
Interesting, it looks like it could fit the bill.
Now to expand on what I would like:
1. Media libraries such as png/tiff/jpeg abstracted out into
image which would be our go to image library. With conversion
support.
https://github.com/callumenator/imaged has image encoders, seems
like the most promising image library to me.
Including for 3d models, video files.
This could be AMAZING for D to have everything integrated for
these libs. Supporting mapping an image to a 3d model that is
both freely editable in code is just *drools*.
Abstractions for video files / images and 3D models are wildly
different though.
