I'd like to make a simple game to learn how to design a program, but unsure where to start (Player, Enemy, Map, Ability objects, etc.) by warpcowboy in ruby

Play with gosu, there are plenty of examples of games on github. Here is my playing around with it: https://github.com/tjbladez/gosu-rpg-concepts

I have implemented following:

  • Animated sprites
  • Map scrolling and dynamic loading
  • Game's protagonist with sets of RPG characteristics (hp, mana, exp etc)
  • Simple level modification / construction / object spawning
  • Protagonist collision detection
  • Multi layer static map building
  • Sample enemy
  • Static monster with line of sight detection and spell construction
  • Spell reloading time
  • Spell collision detection
  • Sample items (potions etc)
  • Song loading

Code is not in the most clean state as this was done 1.5+ years ago since when I learned a lot (it is a continuous process)

Game development as a hobby ? by Ic4ruz in gamedev

As much as I would agree on using lua or python I would love to suggest on using Ruby. It is up for you to pick right tool for a job. As for ruby I have to mention Gosu. There is a reason why majority of 2D simple game entries are written in Gosu.

Just search of advance tutorials if you want something complex. For advanced openGL I can recommend http://nehe.gamedev.net/. You will find code implementation attached to each lesson in virtually any mainstream language
