Wow Fred, you and I have a lot in common.  I manage the Ruby Gateway,  
as you know from providing us an account and putting up with my  
bothersome emails, and I'm a big game nut.

I'm always messing with some Ruby game, though most of them never  
reach the sharing point.  Any pointer to your game efforts?
