Problem with latest macruby stable and unicode regexp
by Glenn Gillen 03 Apr '11

Hey all, This is my first foray into MacRuby dev so go easy :) I'm trying to make a fairly simple web editor with Haml and Sass parsing behind the scenes, and including Sass into my project throws the following error on build: regexp `[\u{80}-\u{D7FF}\u{E000}-\u{FFFD}\u{10000}-\u{10FFFF}]' compilation error: U_REGEX_BAD_ESCAPE_SEQUENCE (RegexpError) The offending line is here: https://github.com/nex3/sass/blob/master/lib/sass/scss/rx.rb#L55 Any ideas what I can do apart from forking Sass and opting for the 1.8 compatible regexp? Thanks, Glenn

Renaming the MacRuby project
by Ben Rimmington 03 Apr '11

I'm an iOS developer, and I haven't tried MacRuby yet, but it appears to be a good alternative to Objective-C. Assuming that MacRuby will be used on iOS devices in the future, perhaps the framework (and project) should be renamed before the v1.0 release. Some alternatives are: * AppleRuby.framework * CoreRuby.framework * HotRuby.framework (if HotCocoa is popular) * Ruby.framework (in Versions/?? subfolder) * RubyBridge.framework * RubyCocoa.framework (in Versions/B subfolder) * RubyFoundation.framework * RubyKit.framework Since you've recently moved to GitHub, and your "MacRuby: The Definitive Guide" book is probably nearing completion, I don't think this is likely to happen. But I thought it was worth suggesting, because choosing to rename after v1.0 (e.g. "iPhone OS 3.x" to "iOS 4") is worse. Cheers. P.S. I had a quick look at the MacRuby source code (commit 17be4634582ac22c418b). Here's a modest patch for "MacRuby.m": -- (id)performRubySelector:(SEL)sel -{ - return [self performRubySelector:sel withArguments:NULL]; -} +- (id)performRubySelector:(SEL)sel +{ + return [self performRubySelector:sel withArguments:NULL count:0]; +}

Hi Everybody, After I failed to get box2d or chipmunk running in last week's game I started a new one today, similar in idea but without that bloddy physics engine. Sirtet it's called and basically that russian game in reverse. Download etc: https://github.com/TomK32/Sirtet ciao, tom PS: The next game will be an adventure!

looking for ruby-sher syntax

Hi, I just used a little transformation in a new game (pic [1], demo later) and wrote this which looks rubish and not so ruby-sh: transform = NSAffineTransform.transform transform.translateXBy 20, yBy: 20 # looks ugly transform.concat The MacRuby examples are all like this, and #translate doesn't exist, but I wonder if I missed something there? ciao, tom [1] https://skitch.com/tomk32/rahp3/sirtet
