An intuitive 2D game engine. Fast, cross-platform, tiny, hot loaded. · By
Hi, I'm Steve. I've been a software developer for three years but have done very little game development. Have enjoyed working on a little toy game in DragonRuby so far, and I hope to continue to do so.
Some games I like a lot:
Languages I have used more than once (Sorted by most experience to least):
I’m Ingo, and one of a few people in the world to use the handle TowerDragon (or Tower_Dragon, if someone else beat me to it). So far, I am toying around with some game programming while developing Rails apps for a living. Started programming in the 1980s, using Ruby since 2009.

I have been a Registered Nurse since 2016, about 4 years since the writing of this. I've been traveling as a nurse into adult psychiatry. I'm 35. I love to spend my free time off from work, usually the late graveyard hours reading code, writing code, being very into computers and how to make a career out of it perhaps. I've tinkered with several languages, very few actually connected. I started using GNU/Emacs and the lisp language, as well as the Linux filesystem. I'm quite using either the CLI or Emacs. However I want to use Ruby now, I love it. I will look into the game framework to explore what can be done. I've done PICO-8 game jam in the past which I had a great time That's really all I have to say, except that I also enjoy music production of various type. That includes both FM chip, and SID, among others. I also like elektron grooveboxes and moog analog synthesizers. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. - c0lt

require 'ripper'
c = <<-S
def hello_world
puts "hello world"
end
S
r = "#{Ripper.sexp(c)}"
puts "#{r.gsub(",", " ").gsub("[", "(").gsub("]", ")")}"
INB4:
Ruby is as much like Lisp as Javascript is, and I’d never call Javascript Lisp-like.

Intro Hi, I'm Mond, I'm a 25yo animator, 2D and 3D just finishing the career . I'm not a CS person, but I like to play around with game engines. Never made a complete game in my life, but I want to, someday. I made random things with Godot and Löve2D (really minor things with Pygame and RenPy). I'm liking this engine so far, I'm rewriting all the tests I did with Löve2D with DragonRuby, and later i'll made a simple plattaformer test I did with Godot with DragonRuby.

yeah... is not optimal
16GB RAM, AMD 6400RX, AMD A8-9600 (yep, 2017 APU), a failing 1T Barracuda HDD. My OS is Fedora.
I use Geany as my editor, but now I use VScodium.
