hello all,
i'm somewhat new to ruby, and i'd like to use it to create games.
because ruby normally uses just text for it's input and output, that's not
very practical, but i'd like to know what other ways of processing input and
output there are in Ruby (especially graphical ways)
any help is greatly appreciated,
greetings, Dirk.
Here's a little game written in Ruby:
http://magicmaze.rubyforge.org/
It uses the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) toolkit.
Yours,
Tom

For good games you need to create your own GUI on top of SDL Simple DirectMedia Layer - Homepage
or OpenGL. Game user interfaces are normally not very conventional and
luckily neither complex.

right..
thanks a lot 
but should i use Ruby/SDL or RuDL? what are the pro's and cons?
greetings, Dirk.
I have no idea, but maybe you could also look at gosu[1]. Don't know
it myself, just googled for "Ruby game library".

(and it look very promising)
