Hi,

Gosu is a free 2D game development library for Ruby and C++, available  
via `gem install gosu` on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux/FreeBSD. It’s  
new home is [http://libgosu.org/](http://libgosu.org/).

Version 0.7.12 has just been released and features a significantly  
extended audio component. Other recent versions introduced clipping,  
the Linux gem and of course many, many bug fixes. The full change log  
is maintained at:

[http://code.google.com/p/gosu/wiki/ChangeLog](http://code.google.com/p/gosu/wiki/ChangeLog)

Most importantly, the official homepage has moved from GoogleCode to  
[http://libgosu.org/](http://libgosu.org/). On the official forums, lots of games and  
projects as well as add-on libraries have already been posted. Most of  
them are open source and written in Ruby. Even generally useful things  
like an easy-to-deploy, all-in-one RMagick bundle have been  
contributed.

Thanks to the forum software and GoogleCode’s new features, everything  
can be followed using convenient RSS feeds from now on as well.

Finally, I can only recommend the gamedev compos over at [ludumdare.com](http://ludumdare.com)  
again, which provide a competitive arena for experimenting with the  
possibilities of Ruby development.
