Hi all, I'd like to start getting my hands dirty with some graphical stuff but I have no idea where to begin - like, for instance, a game of pong. What libraries/gems are out there to do stuff like that? Do I have no choice but to use something like rubyfx or the gtk or tk bindings and then kinda cover it up?
I know I -should- have something and ask for advice but .. I'd like to even know how to get started
Do you have any advice for tutorials, or gems, or even good keywords for a google search (though I can usually find those on my own) ?
id go with the opengl and glut bindings. they should be cross-platform.

There's a few options here:
2D games:
Rubygame (my favorite)
Gosu
RUDL (not really maintained IIRC)
Gemini (require JRuby)
3D
Ogre.rb (ruby bindings for ogre 3d engine)
These are the ones I know off the top of my head.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
