Subject: Re: Wrappng up my Text Game! Need Help!

Okay guys, question about Shoes:

I've built a basic set up for the game like this:


Shoes.app :title => "Guardians at the Threshold",
  :width => 700, :height => 700, :resizable => false do

  azure = rgb(240, 255, 255)
  background azure

  stack do
    background black, :height => 25
    caption "<> <> <>    Guardians at the Threshold    <> <> <>", :align 
=> "center",
    :stroke => white
  end

  stack :height => 635, :margin => 30,  do
    # RUN PROGRAM HERE?
  end

  flow :height => 29 do
  background black
    caption "                   Progress:   ", :stroke => white
    @p = progress :width => 0.5, :margin_top => 0.1
    caption "   __%", :stroke => white
    animate do
    @i = 0.1
      @p.fraction = @i
    end
  end
end


That's all fine and dandy.  But this my game is a long piece of code:
https://gist.github.com/2500159

My question is, I have the game fully coded out in standard Ruby and it 
runs in terminal.  I know I won't be able to simply call the class or 
whatever and run it perfectly as it is.  Ruby uses "puts" and Shoes uses 
"para".  Ruby uses "sleep" and Shoes uses "timer" and a do loop for it.

It's not going to be as simple as doing a find > replace all.  I want to 
make it so each "room" appears on the screen, and there is an 
"edit_line" box that appears for the user to punch in the number they 
choose.

Is it going to be possible to have this run without doing a massive 
rewrite or am I screwed on this?

Hell, as much as I like the way this looks, I'd be happy to just package 
up ruby and my code into an app if I could figure out how to make it 
open up a terminal for the user, and could find a app bundler.

If you guys have any insight before I waste tons of time, that'd be 
awesome.  Thanks for the help.
