From: John Joyce Date: 2007-08-31T07:42:03+09:00 Subject: rubygame Wow! rubygame seems like a royal pain to install! no luck. Installed SDL, but rubygame rake install fails with a long error ending with: No such file or directory - ext/rubygame/rubygame_gfx.bundle I hate to be a whiner, but that's just way too much for 1 mortal to deal with just to try it out. Gosu was a lot easier to install, even though it's documentation consists of a single tutorial and features are either limited or just undocumented. Fairly intuitive, yet still hard to do a lot with at this point. I guess Ruby just isn't really ready for making a game in a really lazy Ruby way. Back to the Torque game engine I guess, with its strange C# glue coding. At least it's more useable, even though I will eventually have to buy a license for it. Either that or learn Java or Python (pygame). Pygame has a lot kinder installer, of course it's been around a lot longer. Ok, I'm whining. Funny thing is, until trying Gosu on a whim, I never really considered building a game before, but now I've got the bug. (one thing to note here, by game I mean a graphical game. I've built my own toy text adventure, but it gets boring pretty quickly.) rubygame and gosu teams, keep up the good work, and I'll be back at toying with it when it improves! cheers.
