+1 on object creation

There's a Ruby tutorial somewhere on the interblag about creating a 
mini-adventure game. It begins like this:

def Thing
  attr_accessor :name, :description
end

And everything starts from there.

def Weapon < Thing
end

def Sword < Weapon
end

etc etc. You probably don't need that much breaking down, but it seems 
you do need to break it down some ;-)
The basic way to think about it is : if I can't explain it in three 
sentences or less, I have to break it down.

If you REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to create some kind of iterating 
name, you could always do things like
iterator = 0
array = []
while iterator < 30
  array << "a#{iterator}".to_sym
  iterator += 1
end

But that's really dirty...
