It is my pleasure to announce that:
Ruby/DLX 0.8.2 is now available for download from rubyforge.org. (Links
at the bottom of this message)
Short Description:
“No more ruby-C-extensions needed to use the shared C library of your
choice in ruby, now you can do it directly in Ruby itself! Ruby/DLX
shows how simple interfacing ruby with c-libraries should be. It is
implemented as a frontend to Ruby/DL2.”
Demos
In addition to the new release, there is now also a growing list of
demonstrations:
- ruby-sdl: A binding of libSDL/libSDL_image to Ruby + simple demo
- ruby-ogl: A binding of libGL/libGLU to Ruby + NeHe’s tutorials 02 and
07 to act as a demonstration - ruby-ode: A binding of libode/libdrawstuff (Open Dynamics Engine) to
Ruby, with the TestBuggy as a demonstration.
Again, all of the above examples are using only Ruby (Ruby/DLX), no
specific library-to-ruby-extension-C-code-complexity was required.
Demo-bundle
Finally, to setup Ruby/DLX and all of its demonstrations on your
machine, a single ruby script called “demo-bundle” is released. You only
need to download this script and run it like:
$ demo-bundle-
This will set up the latest Ruby/DLX and all of its demonstrations in
automatically.
