MiniGL

MiniGL is a minimal 2D Game Library, available as a Ruby gem, and built on top of the Gosu gem.

It provides the following features:

• Resource management (images, sounds, ...)
• Input manipulation (keyboard, mouse, ...)
• UI (text, buttons, text fields, ...)
• Basic physics and collision checking
• Animated objects

More functionalities are coming. Feel free to contribute! You can send feedback to victordavidsantos@gmail.com.

Installing

MiniGL was built on top of the Gosu gem. 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 the examples provided with the gem.
• The library is 100% RDoc-documented.
• An auxiliary, tutorial-like documentation is under construction here.

Version 2.0.0

MiniGL 2.0.0 is finally released!

It brings new features, improvements to existing features and some bug fixes. For details on what has changed, visit the changelog.

As the semantic versioning implies, this version is incompatible with the 1.x series, so you'll need to adjust your code a little if you wish to upgrade.

A new tutorial has to be built, because there have been some changes even in the basics of the usage. So please be patient while it doesn't come out!
