Installing

MiniGL was built on top of the Gosu gem, version 0.7.50. This gem has its own dependencies for compiling extensions. Visit this page for details.

After installing the gosu dependencies, you can just gem install minigl.

Please note:

  • The test package is not complete! Most of the functionality provided by the gem is difficult to test automatically, but you can check out this working game example.
  • The RDoc documentation is now available.
  • An auxiliary, tutorial-like documentation is under construction here.

Version 1.3.5

  • Fixed Gosu version dependency.
  • Added Gemfile, for developers.
