It left a really bad impression on me, especially considering you always complain on the forums about other devs writing bad-performant code and them being unaware of it. Huh? Umm... I haven't done any work on rendering or performance. It's 100% prototype rendering code. It's rendering a crap load of procedural meshes generated on the spot each frame, and not even cacheing the text. What's there is a proof of concept. I just wanted to get a framework, and get something running and playable, so that other people could join in and hack on it with me. I was worried about synch and gameplay, ie, making it load and play songs, play them in time, receive controller events in time, read MIDI properly, match input events against notes in the songs, keep score, handle various input and output latencies. There's actually a fair bit of work in there. You never mentioned that you were deterred by performance, I can go and make it run at a thousand fps if you like :) I just didn't consider it a pressing or particularly relevant issue, since there's not a single piece of artwork or UI in there anyway. Any rendering code I write will almost certainly be replaced. I think there's all comments in there saying // HACK: horrible rendering code!, and that it will be replaced... :/

10 Years of Derelict
I managed to let this little anniversary slip by me. My first post in the old Derelict forum at DSource[1] is dated May 6, 2004, my initial commit to svn[2] was May 7, and my announcement in the newsgroup[3] was on May 8. My attention to the project has waxed and waned, but I'm still puttering along. I expect to continue for the forseeable future. There have been a number of contributors over the years who have helped out in porting to Linux and Mac, fixing bugs, and keeping the bindings up to date. It's been very much a community project, which has made it more enjoyable to work on. It helps that it isn't difficult to maintain :) Maybe before the next decade goes by I'll actually finish a game in D, which is the reason I started Derelict in the first place. For those who don't know, the current iteration of Derelict can be found at the DerelictOrg group at github[4]. I've still got work to do on it (ahem, documentation), but it's coming along.

Regal: An SQL relational algebra builder
Hi all, I'd like to announce the initial version of Regal, an SQL relational algebra builder for D. It's intended as a backbone for a relational database ORM, in line with how Arel works with Rails' ActiveRecord, but nearly any project that generates SQL dynamically can benefit from it. The goal of the library is to make programmatically generating queries simple (and more robust than simple string concatenation), and to be database agnostic (it's very easy to write database specific printers for a Regal AST). There are extensive examples available in the Readme about how to use the library, from generating very simple queries (SELECT * FROM users) to multiple chained joins and nested constraints. Here's an example from the documentation: finding a user with ID 1: ``` auto users = new Table( users, // table name id,// the rest are columns name, created_at, updated_at); // SELECT * FROM users WHERE users.id = 1 LIMIT 1 users .where(users.id.eq(1)) .limit(1) .project(new Sql(*)) .to_sql ``` The library can be found at: https://github.com/dymk/regal And the dub package: http://code.dlang.org/packages/regal Please let me know if you find any bugs via the Github tracker! Regards, Dylan

Out of curiosity, are you running Linux or Windows? I barely test the linux build (I just got it to work), so I can't really comment on it's performance. If a linux user would like to hit it with a profiler and see if I've done anything stupid in the linux code, that'd be useful. The linux build also needs better input and midi code to be properly playable.
