Writing Games with Ruby
summary
Claim is concrete: games are built with the Gosu library and you leave with a working game. The demo shows a platformer and smaller kids’ apps implemented in under 224 lines of Ruby, runs update/draw at 60 times a second, plays songs and samples, uses sprites and sprite sheets, simple hit detection, camera/parallax and animation. A weekend Ludum Dare style build (Ruby Hop) actually gets playable with sound and is annoyingly hard, so the tools and results are real and runnable.
