A new version of DXRuby has just been released!
DXRuby is a Japanese game development library for Ruby scripting created by mirichi. The library is aim toward those who want to start game programming without having to learn difficult programming language like C or C++. The library comes with many functions that allow the beginner users to start developing their games easily, such as image/sound loading, fps control, as well as accepting input from mouse, keyboards and gamepad.
The library also comes with addon such as collision detection that allow you to easily check for collision between different shapes like circle, rectangle and triangle.
Everything on the website is in Japanese though. I’ve asked mirichi-san for translation permission and he said ok, so once I’m done with the senior project and all I will start translating his wiki. The documentation is actually very good and pretty easy to follow 
Also, good news for Thai user, if you use Ruby 1.9 then the encode method will allow you to use Thai font in the game without any problem with the vowels AT ALL. Thank you mirichi-san!
