Use the cocoa framework :-) Tightly integrated into macruby, and has a 
nice abstract layer called 'hotcocoa' that makes writing cocoa very 
rubyish.

Not too sure to be honest, I haven't written any games.

An old but good video on macruby can be found here:
http://rubyconf2008.confreaks.com/macruby-ruby-for-your-mac.html

YARV has been dropped from macruby since the making of that video, but 
definitely worth the time to watch it.

Hope this helps,
Rob
