Joe's been given pointers to libraries and mod environments, in ruby to use to build games Joe's been told about other choices. Chad's response encapsulates this all. take all that and go learn Joe...spend a little time... It's NOT too hard... Many have done it...that's the point... you want a short cut, there really is none better then what you've been given. Go forth and code. -----Original Message----- From: Chad Perrin [mailto:perrin@apotheon.com] Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2007 12:15 AM To: ruby-talk ML Subject: Re: I need serious help!

If you don't understand how a Hello World program works, *you need to learn at least that much* before you have any hope of understanding some more-complex programming techniques. How about, instead of complaining and insulting people for suggesting you learn how to write a Hello World, you ask about how it works. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] MacUser, Nov. 1990: "There comes a time in the history of any project when it becomes necessary to shoot the engineers and begin production."
