Also platform wise CrystalLang is striving in the opposite direction: it started as a language focussed to run natively on servers or desktops. But since it's based on LLVM, people also want to have things like Android support and WebAssembly support.

It’s a combination of the following sample apps: 1. Axis align bounding box collision 2. Simple camera 3. Lighting
DragonRuby Game Toolkit - Game development gives such a different realm of problems to solve that you just don't see with app dev. I'd encourage y'all to give it a try (it's extremely rewarding). Here's an example.

The Indie and Pro version of DR let you create your own C Extensions. These sample apps guide you through the process step by step.
I notice that there aren't many gaming engines that support Ruby script. I'm considering working on a more manageable project that will incorporate MRuby into the Love engine.

With RubyConf 2022 around the corner, I added a bit more polish to DragonRuby's tech demo. Hope y'all can make it out to my talk where I'll be showing this off :-)

DragonRuby is awesome to work with. They’ve put together tons of super useful samples: https://github.com/DragonRuby/dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib/tree/master/samples
To celebrate the 3-year anniversary of DragonRuby Game Toolkit (and 8 years as an Indie game dev), I'm making the game engine free for the next 3 days. Tips for succeeding as an Indie in the comments too.

There are some sample apps that show how to make buttons, so most guis would be a combination of using sprites and testing for click events. The tricky part is gonna be a fully functional text box. The dragonruby heads up display has one and the machinery to get that to work is here. A few people on the Discord server have actually pulled this off and have created toy IDEs with it ha.
With RubyKaigi 2022 kicking off, I've made DragonRuby Game Toolkit free. Hope you enjoy and feel free to AMA about the engine.

It might help to start with a simpler example. This is Pong written with the same structure. The general theme is to start simply and introduce abstraction at the “last responsible moment” as opposed to upfront: https://github.com/DragonRuby/dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib/blob/master/samples/99_genre_arcade/pong/app/main.rb
