I would like to make a game in ruby. I’ve written tetris with python/  
pygame and thought I’d start by rewriting it in Ruby. I looked around  
with google and found:

RUDL  
rubygame  
gosu  
ruby/sdl

I don’t know which is the best, which hasn’t been updated for 3  
years, etc. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,

Here’s a recent post from Florian G. about a game written in Ruby /  
Gosu,  
running on Win32 / OS X / Linux:  
[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/187832](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/187832)

Screenshot: [http://flgr.0x42.net/gdc72h-05/final.jpg](http://flgr.0x42.net/gdc72h-05/final.jpg)

Gosu supports 2D hardware accelerated graphics.

Hope this helps,

Bill
