If you don't know much OpenGL, go for DSFML https://github.com/Jebbs/DSFML

In DlangUI there is Tetris game example Repository: https://github.com/buggins/dlangui Tetris: https://github.com/buggins/dlangui/tree/master/examples/tetris Clone repository, cd dlangui/examples/tetris, dub run As well, there are OpenGL example https://github.com/buggins/dlangui/tree/master/examples/opengl and DMiner example (minecraft-like rendering engine) https://github.com/buggins/dlangui/tree/master/examples/dminer

I use GFM, https://github.com/d-gamedev-team/gfm It's pretty easy to use and saves alot of headache. Downside is that the documentation is somewhat outdated (namely close() functions are deprecated, you have to use the destroy attribute, or typecons). SDL + OpenGL is easy with GFM. here is a good opengl tutorial : http://www.learnopengl.com/

The is derilict-gl and then there is the dgame library Check out the DerelictOrg bindings in general: https://github.com/DerelictOrg In particular DerelictAssimp3 might help with animation and scene loading. Other related game libraries are in the dub registry: https://code.dlang.org/search?q=game
