Example Ruby Scripts

ruby-talk

Hi all,

I'm teaching a small class about Ruby and am looking for a couple of example scripts to distribute to my students. I'd like programs that demonstrate concepts. Small games, utilities, etc... Preferably programs that are a few screen fulls in length.

Any suggestions? It'd be great to have 15 or 20.

Thanks.

How about Julia-Sets or Lindenmayer-Systems (e.g. Koch-Curve):

I think something like Turtle graphics might be interesting (easy to implement and play with).

There's one on RAA (http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby_turtles/\), and also see http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/15217\.
