Also you can save a lot of clockcycles if you put @nogc
everywhere you
gc causes unpredictabilities in performance*. With games it tends to be
worst case performance that matters.
I would reccomend using std.experimental.allocator (even if you still use
the default GC backed allocator). This will allow you to swap out your
allocator for a more specialised one as

I'll read the resources you gave.
Thanks for the all answers. Great

If you do not worry about memory management at all, it will
probably lead to a need to redesign your game. And that's
regardless

Have a look at
prevent you from writing a game in D. D is the
most flexible language I have ever used; you just need to learn
how to deal with the GC in your game.
Jonathan M. Davis gave you some good advice and explained the
fundamental problem with the GC in real time games (the potential

It depends what kind of game it is and how sloppy your code is in
general.
Every game I have written in D i don't think about it,

probably speed it up in comparison to reference counting), but
whenever the GC does a collection, that means that it stops all
