Not really solving the problem though... Nice work though! 'Tis very cool. The game code is very simple to follow too. I'll try making a simple game using simpledisplay over the christmas. It looks quite nifty!

Everywhere else I tried on Linux it just worked but it does indeed require GL and GLU just because simpledisplay on Linux links to them, though I didn't actually use OpenGL for this program. (on Windows, opengl support is opt-in because the opengl32.lib and glu32.lib aren't included with dmd, I could do that on Linux too I suppose but installing glu isn't that hard anyway...)

I guess I could write a bit more about the code but most of it is IMO at least fairly straightforward.

Dgame looks to be a pretty nice little lib too. a) (the most important for me) I can be as productive in D as I am in Python but still keep my static typing and native performance I get with C/C++. My D productivity is so much higher than I am with ruby and python it isn't even a competition...

On Mac, you need to install XQuartz since I don't have a working Cocoa implementation in simpledisplay.d right now. Fear not, it is on my todo list for 2016, so it will be there eventually. I had to install libglu1-mesa* on Ubuntu. Nicely done though!

Pick any 80's arcade game and try to implement as much as possible in an hour. I have several languages I cycle through but the last 1-hour gamehack in D I did is here: "D-Invaders" under: http://dgame-dev.de/index.php?controller=wip The Github repo now has a bunch of extra commits since that initial hour to keep it compiling with Dgame and D. It isn't pretty, nor idiomatic, but I was learning D and Dgame at the same time in that hour :) I realised two things from that first hour with D, which have both proved true so far: a) (the most important for me) I can be as productive in D as I am in Python but still keep my static typing and native performance I get with C/C++. b) D is only going to keep improving.
