Hi All …

I want to learn more about Ruby and SDL …  
Found there is 3 “project” about it

- Ruby/SDL
- Rudl
- RubyGame

But I found none of them have active user group forum/list

Anyone know about the most active user group or discussinon or forum or  
list ?

I don’t want to judge which one is better (I’m not hardcore dev) … but  
more active user will (hopefully) mean more help I can get.

Sincerely  
-bino-

Hi,

There isn’t much to the connection between Ruby and SDL. It is pretty  
simple and straightforward. You’d do better to join an SDL community.

There is lacking documentation to some of those projects. Some people  
on the list proposed to write better docs, we emailed the author of  
Ruby/SDL to ask him to set up a wiki and he never replied. It didn’t  
go anywhere from there.

If you need specific help on how the bindings work, feel free to email  
me or the list.

Thankyou for your enlightment.  
I’ll first join the SDL community first, and soon as I got clearer view  
about SDL , i’ll back to you.

That’s not quite true. Jacius of Rubygame is in #rubygame on  
[irc.freenode.org](http://irc.freenode.org) on a daily base.
