Yes, I found so few informations about that... I heard about Scattered 
Ruby.
I know someone (Dem0nfire) who succeed to use Irrlicht with Ruby (and 
RPG Maker) :

(click spoilers to see screenshots)

But it's still work in progress.

Create cubes with textures, some houses. I am a 2D games programmer, so 
I would work a bit in 3D. I created a 3D graphical engine from a 2D 
library. But using a real 3D library will be better.

I remember OpenGL is a bit strange to me, because of the vertex system.
But there are many tutorials and informations about OpenGL, so I think 
it could be the better choice.


Thank you two for your advices.
