I never realised that Ruby would have the speed necessary for games programming. I notice that you programmed a lot of this game using Ruby and Gosu. At the minute, I have started to learn C++, but I'm only at the early stages. Is Ruby/Gosu easier to learn to the stage of writing a 2D game than C++/Gosu or C++/Allegro. Ruby would be good for me, as it has far better regex capabilities, but I went for C++, for speed. Feedback from anyone greatly appreciated!! thanks tim I really enjoyed trying out your game :-) A great achievement for the time available.
