NeoGame - A Ruby game framework (early version)

By D3nX Date 2017-09-24 16:52 Edited 2017-09-24 17:47

Hey guy, so let me first present myself. So my name is D3nX (Denis =D), I'm 13 years old, and I love Gosu and Ruby.

Because Gosu is a simple multimedia library, I decided to extend it and making it more powerful,
and I decided to make my own framework based on Ruby and Gosu : NeoGame.

Here is the website(under construction, sorry for the quality, I'm not really good in HTML / CSS...) : https://niobean-generation.000webhostapp.com/index.html
And the github : https://github.com/D3nX/NeoGame

Actually, it's really an early alpha, but I'm quite happy of the job done. So, I just want want to know what did you think of it, some suggestions, and everythings you want for make this framework better !

Thanks at all =D

Hi and welcome to Gosu! My #1 suggestion would be to see if you enjoy game-development competitions. I've found that they are great opportunities to work on game frameworks – that's how Gosu came into being :)

I created something very similar. If you look on the forum, you can find Sapphire 'framework'. However, I never published the updated version, so the one you can find is very outdated. I completely rewrote the GUI and core and I'm going to post the updated version. Sometime. You know, Gosu is very simple, so any framework on top of Gosu should be simple too, and if anything, should make it easier to manage things. That was the approach I wanted to take. I didn't really dig into your one, so I can't really compare. But I'm using Gosu for a very long time now, and I still prefer it over other game making tools.

Yeah I checked out Sapphire,it was pretty cool =)
And I can totally understand you way of thinking, sure Gosu without anything is really cool, because you have the pleasure of doing it with a lib that just simple. But I'm just making this library for make developper life easier and get started with a (in the future, I hope) powerful framework built-on Gosu, and do not have to rewrite in example collision class for each game, but make a simple bunch of tools for make game without rewriting some things.

Note: v0.2 is released on github.
