    Seems so good for me, when looking for a good and meets my requirement of Ruby-based game application…
    Keep the great works, and I’ll be waiting for the next you’ll share

    also, wonder if there’s such a sample game app that built from Rubygame I’ll really, REALLY appeciate it!

      Thanks! :)

      As for a sample game, Rubygame comes with a number of (small) samples. If you dig through your ruby installation to where rubygame got installed, there should be some samples in there.

    I’ve really appreciated finding your site and tutorials. I’ve been scouring the web for tutorials using Rubygame and your tutorials have inspired me not to give up learning Ruby.

    Life happens so I’m sure all of us out here understand your hiatus.

    All I’m asking is that you please, when you find the time, continue posting your tutorials and tips. Even the little errors you might make will help us become more observant and better learners.

    Thank you again.
