Subject: Re: program writing

maybe i shoud look at opengl or something like that, is it possible to 
integrate opengl with ruby or is it even necessary, i could write a text 
game i guess but where would i start is what i dont understand. i just 
dont get how to begin something like that because i dont understand what 
is involved. How do i write a method to allow people to connect to the 
program and play the game etc i just have no idea i would have to look 
at other peoples source code and rack my brain over it for a couple 
weeks to try and figure out how it works but then i would just be doing 
something that has already been done. There are hundreds of those games 
all over the internet i find it hard to get excited about things like 
that. I dont know maybe i should just stick with art, i would like to 
get into graphics programming and actually be one of the people who 
works on programming things like maya and poser etc but i cant even 
begin to fathom how all of that is done is there a grahics api for ruby?
