Subject: Re: GUI

FLTK and Fox both have good Ruby bindings and solid OpenGL
integration, which sounds important given the 3D aspects of your
project. Fox has the richer widget set; FLTK is designed for static
linking into very compact binaries.

And of course, Gtk and Qt both have Ruby bindings and OpenGL support,
though they are both more heavyweight -- really, they're application
frameworks that include a set of GUI widgets.
