Using Rubygame for MMO framework

[Tim Baas]

Hello y'all!

When searching the web for Ruby game development in general I came across this Library.

I was actually looking for a Ruby MMO framework, but I haven't found it so far.

I'm a web developer using Rails to create applications, and I did a lot of game programming in the past with ActionScript 3.

Now what I'd like to know is the following:

- Is Ruby a good language to create games with?  

  I've read that garbage collection is bad, but I don't know how that is in 1.9.3.

  ( http://gafferongames.com/2009/01/11/ruby-is-not-at-all-suitable-for-game-development/ )

- Is this Rubygame library something I need when creating a MMO backend framework?

That's enough I need to know for now, hope you guys can give me some more information.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Rubygame could be helpful for the *frontend* - it's basically a SDL wrapper with some additional utilities for game graphics and basic game engines.
