<br>
I have converted Tim Burks RubyRocks - a simple Asteroids game to MacRuby - with NSViews and another version to use OpenGL.<br>
The OpenGL version has some ObjC code to get access to pixels.<br>
<br>
They are at <a href="http://johmacshea.org" target="_blank">johmacshea.org</a> - which bounces to my idisk while I am on holidays - in the MacRuby/Game Related.<br>
<br>
In the Hillegas directory on the same site there is a MacRuby example that uses CoreAnimation - called Polynomials - I don&#39;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 .<br>


<br>
Let me know if you have any issues getting them running.<br>

I don&#39;t think that the Ruby/SDL bindings can be used today inside MacRuby. The extensions mechanism still suffers from problems.<br>
<br>
While I&#39;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.<br>

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?<br>
