Hi Timothy,

I have converted Tim Burks RubyRocks - a simple Asteroids game to MacRuby - with NSViews and another version to use OpenGL.
The OpenGL version has some ObjC code to get access to pixels.

They are at johmacshea.org - which bounces to my idisk while I am on holidays - in the MacRuby/Game Related.

In the Hillegas directory on the same site there is a MacRuby example that uses CoreAnimation - called Polynomials - I don't think its however appropriate to write action games in - or at least not initially as easy as other possibilities - though i would be happy to see someone prove me wrong - since in some ways it would be easier than OpenGL .

Let me know if you have any issues getting them running.
Cheers
John

Timothy,

I don't think that the Ruby/SDL bindings can be used today inside MacRuby. The extensions mechanism still suffers from problems.

While I'm not a Quartz expert I am pretty sure you can replace Ruby/SDL by pure Mac OS X APIs, with as Quartz but also CoreImage, CoreAudio, CoreAnimation, OpenGL (which can be called from MacRuby), etc. Now it depends if you want to write cross-platform code.

HTH,
Laurent

Is it possible for me to use the Ruby/SDL bindings with MacRuby/Cocoa? Also, can Quartz handle movement of sprites (gifs, pngs, jpgs?) and the like? Would Quartz be just fine for game development?
