The post you quoted links to the git repo. You can clone it with "git clone http://repo.or.cz/knightmare.git;, or view the code online at https://repo.or.cz/knightmare.git/tree (includes a link to download the tarball). Thanks. I see it now.

Re: remake of remake of Konami's Knightmare
major update: entity logic is completely driven by external scripts now! ;-) most of "monsters.d" code moved to MES scripts. also, entity (actor in the terms of the engine) management was completely rewritten, so it mostly doesn't allocate in game loop. "what is MES?", one may ask. ok, MES is a scripting engine, writen specifically for scripting simple games. it has only one object type (Actor), but it is statically typed, supports UFCS and function pointers (and some syntactic sugar), so it may look like procedural or OOP language (at your choice). it is compiled to virtual machine code (3-operand instructions). compiler doesn't use AST, but does one extra pass over a source to collect functions/globals/fields definitions, so there is no need to write any forward declarations. so why i did it, and why it is better than old D code? the answer is very simple: because i can! ;-) you're welcome to study MES compiler implementation if you like. it is contained in one file (mesengine.d), and is not that hard to follow.

remake of remake of Konami's Knightmare
recently i worked on remake of DOS remake of Konami's Knightmare game[0]. the game is playable now, it has music from original MSX Knightmare, and sfx/gfx/levels from DOS remake. it is written in D, of course, and it is FOSS. you can find the sources here[1]. as usual, you'll need my IV modules[2], and Adam's ARSD modules[3]. the code won't work on 64-bit arches, tho (due to some bugs in sdpy/iv). but it can be compiled for 32-bit GNU/Linux, and 32-bit windows. here is windows binary for those who cannot (or don't want to) build the binary[4]. WARNING! the code is a partial port of old DOS turbo pascal sources, so it is *very* far from something even remotely sane. it is not polished yet, but that should not stop you! play this excellent classic shooter while it is hot! ;-) some tech info: arsd.simpledisplay is used for video (with OpenGL backend), arsd.simplesound for audio (with my AY-8910 emulator), iv.vfs for VFS support. as the game designed for 20 FPS, i didn't bother avoiding GC (that is, the engine allocates like crazy). enjoy, and happy hacking!
