DGL is a minimalistic 3D and 2D real-time graphics engine written in D language and built on top of OpenGL and SDL. This is an experimental version of the project with manual memory management. When finished, it probably will replace DGL master.
To see what DGL is capable to, check out Atrium, a work-in-progress sci-fi first person puzzle based on physics simulation.

DGL comes with a number of usage examples. To build one, run dub build --config=demoname, where demoname can be minimal, pbr, textio.
- minimal.d - 'Hello, World' application, demonstrates how to create a window and print text with TrueType font
- pbr.d - physically-based rendering demo (also demonstrates how to use shadows)
- textio.d - text input demo, with support for international keyboard layouts.
