Rails "Badge" type plugin / tutorial?

Question

Does anyone know if there is a Rails gem/plugin/tutorial that shows how to create a Badge/Achievement system similar to what stackoverflow uses.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think it's less a framework but a design question. If you know how to build it in an object-oriented way, you'll eventually know how to build it in Rails too.

If you're a Rails newbie, check out the Rails Guide on "Active Record Associations" and try to identify the models and the associations of your "badge/achievment system".

Besides that: No, I don't know of any turnkey-gem/plugin/tutorial that would help you build such a system.
