Subject: [ANN] Dwemthy's Array -- the Ruby mini_adventure

Since you were a very young rabbit in little cotton pants, Dwemthy's
Array has breathed on your neck and you're tired of it.  You draw your
glistening Hero's Sword from its sheath and cut a low-circling falcon in
half as a confidence building exercise.  Your eyes flick about in a cool
and freaky way.

You're ready...  It's time to stare this construct in the face.

The sixth chapter of Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby is on its way.  This
chapter covers metaclasses and method_missing with the help of Dwemthy's
demonic list.  The code for the little RPG is now available.  A full
explanation is forthcoming in chapter six.
