Technically . . . yes.  Realistically . . . not so much, at this time,
unless you're willing to use Ruby as a back end on some kind of applet
(such as with Flash).  Even in that case, it might be easier to just
create a Flash game and leave Ruby out of it, unless you're looking to
make a distributed multiplayer Space Invaders game, in which case you'd
probably need something like Ruby on the server.
