SRC 2014 Workshops

Writing a Game in Ruby

Session leader: Mike Moore (@blowmage)

About this session

Creating games is crazy fun and dirt simple with Ruby. You will leave this workshop with a working game; no previous game development experience necessary. We will introduce basic concepts of game programming and show how to implement them using the Gosu library. This includes the game loop, sprites, animation and hit detection. We will build a complete game, so bring your laptop and follow along.

### Who is this for?

Any Ruby programmer comfortable with classes and methods in Ruby. Beginner friendly!

Preparation

We'll use the Gosu gem. To save time at the beginning of the workshop, you can prepare by installing and tryin out the gem using this two-minute tutorial:

  • OS X
  • Windows
  • Linux - use this for installtion then follow the tutorial instructions from the OS X / Windows links above.
