Hi, I have a game that I need to make a small backend game management server so that gamers can play against each other. My game is turn based and very little data goes across only 2 players per game but many games can be going on at once. Kind of like chess rooms. As you can imagine, events are everything. I need something that is event driven, object oriented. When a request comes in then a delegate gets notified about it. I don’t want to write polling to check when data arrives or blocking code. Before I plunge into learning the Ruby syntax, does Ruby have frameworks for event driven applications in general especially networked ones? Thanks ---

There are a few yes, but they even exist out of the scope of Ruby and Rails: - Comet - Juggernaut ([http://juggernaut.rubyforge.org/](http://juggernaut.rubyforge.org/)) - ActiveMessaging ([Google Code Archive - Long-term storage for Google Code Project Hosting.](http://code.google.com/p/activemessaging/)) etc. Best regards Peter De Berdt
