web based games done in ruby, point me in the right direction

Question

So I've been using a number of educational software web based apps, they are games, and they are all using flash. Recently I've seen some posts about making games with ruby. Are there any good examples out there for making games with ruby. I know of the game library, and then there is one book on amazon that has some awful reviews, and then there is manofcode, but I haven't seen some good examples or tuts.

So if you know of a good resource for learning web based game development with ruby post some links please :)

Answer 1

See the Railsrumble project from Ryan Bates : GovsGo

Answer 2

There was a project "HotRuby" where you should have been able to create Flash/ActionScript using Ruby. But I don't know if the development is going on.

Answer 3

If you want to create client-side games you shouldn't look at ruby. Try a good Javascript solution like GameQuery.

You could use Ruby (and Rails) on the server side to keep track of scores et cetera.

Answer 4

Although it's technically not a game, I used Gosu for zombie-chaser.
