From: Haroon Fatboyjaaba Date: 2007-10-24T14:02:02+09:00 Subject: Need advice on Ruby and game dev Ok I am new to programming still. I know how to do small basic things like loops, strings, variables in like python, C, ruby....but thats it. The farthest which isnt probably even related is PHP/SQL which I am getting pretty good at. Anyways I want to start developing some very basic games like NES style games. Some people said to start with C but man its very ugly to me compared to ruby. I dont need super speed since its going to be a simple game so Ruby should suffice. And another thing is that I wont have to port or make a lot of changes if I want it on Linx, Windows.....but the problem is that I also like game consoles and they always run C games if you get it modded. And then it takes a while for someone to make a python or lua or ruby interpreter for it...I guess I can start with Linux and Windows. But another question is how much ruby do I have to learn before I can start gui/game stuff, like making things move an all that? Do I have to learn all of ruby or what?
