Re: DTiled: Tiled map loader
Nice that you named Dgame on your repo. ;) As soon as it supports XML and CSV I would definitely use it. Everyone who starts a game in D calls it Dgame!

For my April/Mai game Angry Snowball (https://github.com/Dgame/AngrySnowball) I use currently a CSV format. Unfortunately XML support is not a top priority for me, as I always use the JSON format. I normally have a build step that converts updated TMX file sto JSON files, which isn't a big deal since I already have a sort of content pipeline for music and art. It is a possibility but I'd need to find a good XML serializer. Orange looks good but isn't on dub, and I'd like to integrate it in a way that users who only want JSON don't need to pull in the XML dependency (and visa-versa). Out of curiosity, any reason for preferring the XML format? Not that I have a good reason for preferring JSON. No, no reason. And at the moment I am using CSV, so CSV would be my top priority.
DTiled: Tiled map loader
Any D game developers out there looking to create a tile-based game? DTiled aims to provide a quick and easy way to load maps created with Tiled (http://www.mapeditor.org). For those that don't know, Tiled is an open-source 2D tilemap editor that is a great tool for indie developers. At the moment, DTiled is a pretty thin wrapper around Tiled's JSON map format, though it provides a few useful helper functions and may expand to provide a higher-level API for inspecting tilemap data. DUB:http://code.dlang.org/packages/dtiled Docs: http://rcorre.github.io/dtiled/dtiled.html Github: https://github.com/rcorre/dtiled DTiled is focused on loading and inspecting tilemap data rather than rendering it, as I do not want to tie DTiled to a particular rendering engine. The idea is that a developer can use DTiled to inspect the information exported from tiled and populate their own in-game map data. Want to see it in action? Check out this example, which uses DTiled to load a map and Allegro to render it: https://github.com/rcorre/dtiled-example Other than that example and some unit tests on the loaded data, DTiled is not yet well-proven. However, I am trying to get back into gamedev and intend on developing DTiled further as I use it. If you give it a try, let me know what you think!

hmm ... apparently copy-pasting out of a vim buffer was not a good idea. Sorry about the weird line breaks.
