dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib VS LDtkBridge

It’s a combination of the following sample apps: 1. Axis align bounding box collision 2. Simple camera 3. Lighting

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.

What we can safely open source is here (we try to expand this repo as much as we can): https://github.com/DragonRuby/dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib

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

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.

We have a bullet hell sample app :-) https://github.com/DragonRuby/dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib/tree/master/samples/99_genre_arcade/bullet_hell

The full implementation is ~350 lines of code. Here's the source.

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

There are a ton of sample apps you can go through here: https://github.com/DragonRuby/dragonruby-game-toolkit-contrib/tree/master/samples

We can render pretty much any graphical format. There are open source projects out there for importing Tiled and also LDtk. Both projects are active on our Discord server if you hit any snags.
