• Past Tense: A DragonRuby Sound Installation Built on libpd

  The whole thing is three runtimes glued together. DragonRuby GTK (mRuby) handles the game side: scenes, UI, sprite rendering, the per-tick game loop, the XP and tier-progression system. Pure Data, embedded via libpd, handles every audio sample: spectral analysis across four frequency bands, burst recording, the synthesis and effects chain, the feedback routing. A small custom C extension bridges the two via... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Libghostty Is Coming

  Crystal is object-oriented, but isn't a pure object system. In a pure object system, literally everything is, or can be turned into an object. Smalltalk is the only other example of a language family that offers a pure object system. With a pure object system everything is accessible by the system at runtime. It's ruby's biggest strength, but also the superpowers it grants aren't always used for good, which is why... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Swift and Cute 2D Game Framework: Setting Up a Project with CMake

  Try https://dragonruby.org/. It's great! Still on SDL2, but will migrate to SDL3 eventually. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Rubymotion – Write cross-platform apps for iOS, Android and OS X in Ruby

  This project pretty much pivoted into https://dragonruby.org, a framework for making 2d games in Ruby. It's pretty active and in-development, but has nothing to do with building cross-platform apps per se. No idea why this was posted. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Favorite Game Engine?

  I am not primarily a game developer. But I wanted to see how some of it works. The engine that has been instrumental to it is DragonRuby Game Toolkit [0]. It was easy to set up and use. And I developed a simple game [1] following a really accessible book [2]. It uses Ruby which is an easy language to pick up- especially as someone who is experienced in Python. I really loved the experience and talked with the... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Is it unrealistic to do small game projects if I don't know any unity?

  For 2d games I suggest you to use a simpler game engine. Especially one that doesn’t come with a complex, bloated editor. I recommend giving http://dragonruby.org/toolkit/game a shot. I released a few games using it, one is available on Apple’s App Store. It comes with examples - for various level of experience, including total beginners - and a super helpful community on Discord 😊. Source: over 4 years ago

• Simplicity of IRC

  The closest I've found to having a modern experience to programming in that manner is DragonRuby Game Toolkit [0]. It's not free (with some exceptions for eligible users and indie game developers), but it does offer a standard version for a one-off payment, which is the version I have. It's sold as a game dev toolkit but it brings back those same memories of BASIC for me. I firmly believe that it could be a very... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago
