What's the state of Sinbad?

It would be great if somebody could continue work on it. I've had a look at Ogre and am impressed at how comprehensive the project is.

It would be incredible if some day D had such a comprehensive 3D toolkit too.

Agreed... obviously, or I wouldn't have started this. I can't speak for the small handful of other Sinbad people I've "recruited" since proposing this, but I for one am waiting for two things.

1 - A 1.0 release of DMD and the D spec, so we can have a long-term stable development platform.

2 - The free time to work on it... I used to have it, but its disappeared at some point without asking me first. Smile

Understood. It's hard to hit a moving target, I'm sure.

I just wanted to check to see if an interest still existed.

Thanks for responding! Smile

I'm still interested in this, but the project keep disappearing off my radar...

I'm much the same as larsivi. A recently insane personal/business life has eaten most of my free time, which in turn is taken up by prior obligations to private projects. I think the only reason I don't outright call Sinbad dead, is because I still believe in the idea. If anyone else wants the proverbial torch, its just laying there anyhow.

hmmm, well D 1.0 is out - still no movement?

It would be a real shame for this to fade into abandonment... which it looks like it may have done.

With Tango out there, it will be a very long time (most likely never) before I get into this again.

Ditto. Between "real job" hassles and other projects that came up in the interim, it could be a while. I'm still watching OGRE, though, and still wish for this to happen. And I'm really glad to have waited, as some of D's great advances could be great for Sinbad as well.
