Programming / Realtime Ruby WASD
« on: August 25, 2014, 08:45:31 PM »
Hello world. Interested in making a roguelike in Ruby. Learning project 
At stage 0; what are some good libraries to play with? So far, checking out gosu, chingu, tcod, rubygame, etc....
Trying to compare UI; any input would be appreciated.
Objectives:
*Realtime
*Sprites(For communicating direction-relative stuff; Field-of-View, blocking, backstab, etc.... asis I'm just modifying fonts in TCOD)
*WASD+Mouse(TCOD.mouse_get_status(lbutton_pressed? x:y) sort of dealy; WASD+mouse feels visceral)
*Some sort of code for transitioning between dungeon tiles smoother; not a priority yet, but it'd be nice down the line
*More "Triangle Wizard" or "Pyromancer" than "Nethack"
