Can you write a small, compact, up to speed tutorial once

Well, simpledisplay itself isn't done, but it works for many
things now (and myself and several other users make use of it
now).
The big change is eventually I am going to change the module
name, which is a breaking change, but otherwise I don't have
major API changes in mind. (A big addition it needs though is
Cocoa Mac OS X support again. It had it years ago then it fell
away. I want to redo it when the new ObjC integration in D is
done.)
But if you copy/paste the examples in the html file you should be
able to get started. The code itself is in this collection:
https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd
simpledisplay.d and color.d are the two files needed. Then you
compile by just adding those two files to your build or I have
also made a dub thing for it but I haven't really tested this yet:

I do need to write more docs and tutorials but you can play a
little with the examples there - the event viewer is first in the
example list to give you an idea of what input it gives, then the
Pong game underneath that gives a fairly complete demo of basic
drawing and input. It can also do things like create OpenGL
contexts, which I have a demo of here:
http://arsdnet.net/dcode/book/chapter_12/10/opengl.d
(The OpenGL bindings are mostly old, glBegin/glEnd stuff, because
that's what I know [!!], but the same context creation works for
new functions too so I'm adding that. Just commited a big batch
of new stuff yesterday too.)
The audio and joystick parts are in my github repo... and
basically work, but I'm still not completely happy with them yet.
