A few options to get you started:

ruby-game: [http://rubygame.seul.org/](http://rubygame.seul.org/)  
rudl: [RUDL, Ruby and SDL download | SourceForge.net](http://sourceforge.net/projects/rudl/)  
ruby/sdl: [http://www.kmc.gr.jp/~ohai/rubysdl.en.html](http://www.kmc.gr.jp/~ohai/rubysdl.en.html)

I am having trouble installing sdl with ruby. I chose RUDL, the one  
where you click the ruby file that says install, I followed the  
directions, but when I tried to run one of the examples that came with  
it, it did not work. One of the errors it gave me was “(eval):114:  
undefined method `print_centered' for class `RUDL::SFont’ (NameError  
)  
from  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:21:in `re  
quire’”

Can anybody help?  
Thanks
