Maybe off topic, but when I saw this, I thought, “Why  
isn’t there a Ruby version of this game?” (Or is  
there?)

C-jump is a neat idea, mapping something fun (downhill  
skiing) with programming. I look at this game and  
wonder what it would look like in the wonderful world  
of everything-is-an-object.
