A GUI library written in D.
You may want take a look at D programming language official web site : dlang.org and to the framework that inspired us (QtQuick) : http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/06/21/overview-of-the-new-features-in-qt-quick/
We are using Lua as scripting language instead of javascript, cause there is no C javascript engine. And a non JIT interpreter is prefered for some platforms (iOS).
Take a look to the DQuick.pptx for more details.

It's currently a simple prototype, don't expect to see something working fine a day.
All platforms have a chance to be supported one day due to the code design choices. DQuick should work everywhere D is supported, it requires only few additionnal librairies :
- Lua (will be removed the day it can be replaced by D)
- FreeType (strongly portable, hard to display texts without it)
- SDL (temporary as isn't really adapted to window applications, there is some resize issues)
- SDL_IMAGE (temporary)
- libpng (will replace SDL_IMAGE, strongly portable)
- libjpeg (will replace SDL_IMAGE, strongly portable)
To do the SDL replacement we'll use native OS API to create windows and handle events.
Stutas of plaforms :
- Windows (Main target, native code migration started)
- Linux (Second target, under SDL, we think to use xcb)
- MacOS X (Not tested, but we have experience)
- Android (Not tested, experience, it seems D compilers aren't not ready)
- iOS (Not tested, experience, it seems D compilers aren't not ready)
Linux (MonoD)
- install monoD (http://mono-d.alexanderbothe.com/)
- pull source code
- go to third-party/SDL-2.0.0
- build SDL : run './configure; make; sudo make install'
- go to third-party/SDL_Image-2.0.0
- you need install libpng-dev, libjpeg-dev
- build SDL_Image : run './autogen.sh; ./configure; make; sudo make install'
- launch monoD and open the solution (DQuick-MonoD.sln)
Windows
- install VisualD
- pull source code
- luanch Visual Studio and open the solution (DQuick-VisualD.sln)
