Good job ! I learnt alot from your videos. Are you making anymore ? Perhaps you should write an e-book or something I’d buy it.

Thanks for your hard work – if you put a donate button up I’ll buy you a case of beer

Keep up the work though – I don’t want to end up with a black screen

Seriously – I am trying to learn/teach programming – this sort of thing is a bit more cachy than dealing with active record….

don’t feel bad about not understanding things, you’ll get it eventually! And I probably deserve a lot of the blame for your confusion, I’ve lost touch with my “inner newbie”, I’m sure I could’ve talked about things in a much more beginner friendly way. I’d like to try to fix this, not sure exactly how yet, but we’ll see.

There were a few times going through both the game-making videos and the regular Ruby tutorials where I got pretty confused… Like, as someone who has no idea what RubyGems was until today, you said I could go to the website and search for something I wanted, but I had no idea what I’d even be searching for. I thought, are these programs? Blocks of code to copy into a project? I didn’t even know where to begin, and I’m still pretty confused. I ended up just experimenting a bit and I did manage to download RubyGems and Rubygame, but those other websites can be pretty dang confusing and unhelpful to newbies. To me, it feels like there’s a secret Programmers Club and I’m not a part of it, so sucks to be me. These videos are a great way for me to slowly understand, though. It just takes persistence, I guess.

I hope you make more of these videos, since I’m not sure where else to turn to learn any of this. I’d be willing to pay a bit for them, though if the price is too high, I’ll have to turn them down. I’m a poor college student… can’t really afford to buy anything except ramen noodles, you know?

Anyway, thank you for your time and effort.

Good luck on your game!

so many thanks for your guide! I’m trying to make a port of ClanBomber (don’t know if you played on it, it’s a Bomberman-like game; it was released with RedHat, if memory serves me right), your guide is what I was searching for in order to begin!

I want to report an error, too: in def initialize,
@screen.title = "Pong"
should be
@screen.title = "Pong"
, I guess… wrong html entities?

Thanks again! Bye!

Congrats Tyler!

Rubygame is really interesting! I’m studying Gosu alone and learning rubygame using your screencasts!

Keep the good work!
