Oh heck #DragonRuby is sponsoring the "Warm & Fuzzy & Fun & Stupid" game jam, and doing a 100% off sale for another day or two. So hey if you're curious, try it out.

#DragonRuby has gotta be one of my top five for "oh yeah Ruby can be fun." Get an idea right before bed. I wonder if DR can get the system clipboard?

Five minutes of muttering and puttering later: yep!

Window with large text of "Hello World!", multiple instances of "may your evening be blessed by the passing of the bebe javeline" and the function responsible for pasting

def paste_at_point args
  clipboard = $gtk.ffi_misc.getclipboard
  return unless clipboard

  lines = String.wrapped_lines clipboard, LINE_LENGTH
  args.state.notes << lines.map_with_index do |line, i|
    {
      x: args.inputs.mouse.x,
      y: args.inputs.mouse.y - 22p * i,
      text: line,
      size_px: 20,
      anchor_x: 0,
      anchor_y: 0.5,
    }
  end
end

Upcoming dragonruby jam!

Fluff and fun for all! Keep an eye out for the free Dragonruby Engine giveaway period too, they always give out itch.io keys and you can get the whole thing free once you claimed it. Dragonruby really wants you, yes you, to make cool things and ship them out. My favorite 2d engine!

Trying a #DragonRuby version of some C++ code I found.

#TIL you can trigger an integer overflow in mruby if your bit operations are particularly clumsy.

Something kind of like a star field

A little—as in a 20 second demo of—purposeful puttering with drag & drop in #DragonRuby

jjkiAWW YEAH WE'RE CODING NOW^[:wq

You wouldn't believe the amount of learning all that took. Well, you might if you knew drag and drop was involved. Can't exactly see that in a screenshot. Hang on. Okay there we go.

AMAZING

Anyways back to lunch and the planned day.

#DragonRuby

Window titled "Mental Space" with a black background, some debugging information indicating this is the latest version of DragonRuby, and two free-floating text boxes: "Welcome to your mental space!" near the middle, and "Sorry it's so empty." at the bottom. The text boxes are tethered to each other by a curved lineThe same window, except "Sorry it's so empty" now sits above "Welcome to your mental space"

Now with meteors. Made with #dragonruby #gamedev

Having entirely too much fun with #DragonRuby, which I'm learning heavily emphasizes code sketches (or building iteratively from conceptual prototype to finalized product, if you like bigger words)

Mi juego para I, REBEL: A JEFF MINTER GAME JAM por Atari

La semana pasada participé de este concurso de desarrollo de un videojuego. Estuvo bastante divertido y algunas personas me han dicho que el resultado es divertido, lo que me hace inmensamente feliz.

Been having fun with the DragonRuby game engine. Finally started playing with it. Working on a "cyber"-themed Chip's Challenge clone.

Any Ruby devs looking to try their hand at game dev?

I'm currently working on a framework for the DragonRuby Game Toolkit and I'm looking for some alpha testers.

@h4ckernews did you see that @amirrajan?

It seems like @hadashia wants to have some competing stack to #DragonRuby. 😉

Designed with seamless integration in mind for C#-based game engines, and emphasize ruby level compatibility.

Opening up access to my refinement of a game jam entry from ancient history (2023) because why not. It will likely be in beta forever 🤷

Save Our Spacers! is a silly game rescuing astronauts before time runs out:
