I sorta have no money to use on books and the like. I was hoping I could avoid buying anything by consulting the greater population of Ruby programmers. Maybe get someone to post a link to a good website that dumbs the tutorials down enough for me to understand. And who knows? Maybe I will get good enough that I will be able to go over to C++ and not be this stupid. But I have heard that text-based games are easier to make than games with moving graphics, so I might start off with a Sky Pirate text-based game instead. It all depends whats easiest for a beginner. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
