Begining RRobots bot

Ruby
1

Hi all,

I’m new to ruby and OO programming (been writing procedural perl for a
few years). I’m hoping to use the rrobots modules to practice ruby
and OO (just missed the rubyquiz competition, eh?). Here’s what I
have so far. This is not the smartest bot by any means (only 1 speed
and not the greatest tracking…), but at this point I’m mostly
interested in making sure my code is good clean OO and generally
follows the “ruby way” of doing things. Any/all suggestions welcome!

Thanks!

Greg
