I think I mentioned already that I'm making a little game to learn Ruby.
Its a Pong game with a few extras and I'll use it for a contest on GameDev. The contest-deadline is approaching(about a day left) and I only got notice of a single person who wanted to try it out, but not if it runs now.
This makes me incredibly nervous as I dont want to get into the situation where the game only runs on my computer and some small quirk prevents it to run on others.
Please, try it out and be so kind as to give a reply. Even something simple like: "I tried it on ... OS with Ruby version ... and it runs/runs not/runs only with additionally having the DevKit installed, because ... ."
For installation on Windows get Ruby 1.9.3 from
http://rubyinstaller.org/ and install it in a dir without spaces with the extra options enabled to let it make file associations and add it to the path.
Unpack the game package you can dl from
https://www.dropbox.com/s/g7ykbg55jj4w4vn/winter-pong-0.3.zip somewhere, start install-rbSFML.bat from that directory, double click one of the two .rbw files.
The game should run on other OS, but its untested and more involved, having to compile your own version of rbSFML and possibly SFML. Detailed instructions are inside the package.
This is a preview version, I plan on doing an update soon to add/improve a few more things.
