Up Topic Gosu / Gosu Exchange / How to compress a Ruby + Gosu game and make it executable
- - By kyonides Date 2010-08-20 21:46
This is not related to just using winzip and make it executable so it'll auto extract its contents into some folder after double clicking on it. What I mean is to create a real executable game that shouldn't even need to be extracted but that should work much in the same way a C or C++ game would. I know I can just offer the visitors some copy of an rar archive with all my project files, but that's not as neat or nice as running the game from a single executable file. So how can I make that executable file for my Ruby game?

well :)
I guess the OCRA  is what you need to look at !
Fairly simple to use and can embed some data file as well.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot once I solve another issue I'm having with Ruby and websites.

If you want easy deployment, see Gosu's documentation wiki on GoogleCode or search this board for Ocra (if your question was only about Windows actually). If you want to hide your source, look into Rubinius and get your hacker hat out.
