Episode description

Hey! This time I'm joined by Amir Rajan, the creator of DragonRuby Game Toolkit! (https://dragonruby.itch.io/dragonruby-gtk) It's a solution for 2D games, that lets you iterate incredibly fast, is stripped of the editor, is very programming-oriented. It's powered underneath by SDL (and Ryan C. Gordon is involved in DragonRuby development on the SDL side of things!) probably the most popular graphics framework in gamedev industry. You're using Ruby language to code in DragonRuby (hint is in the name!) but there are also C extensions (kudos to Alex) This discussion includes a live demo of DragonRuby and its powers!
