A few questions on features

This caught my eye. I love clear and minimal engines and I play with a lot of them. The big plus is definitely the support for consoles.

Never really looked into Ruby until today, but I like what I've seen so far. It looks really expressive and fast.

I have a few questions regarding Dragon Ruby:

- is there a physic engine integrated?

- are the mobile targets going to be included or is it going to be a separate package?

- what about services? like ads, gamecenter, steam, etc?

- is there a plugin system in the plan to integrate those systems?

Thanks!

Not yet. We had Chipmunk2D compiled in for awhile, but we haven't hooked it into Ruby yet.

We're trying to figure out how to package them appropriately, but at the moment we don't plan to sell this as a separate product.

We aren't this far yet (and I will probably resist adding advertisements).

> Is there a plugin system in the plan to integrate those systems?

One of my great frustrations, as a Linux user, is watching cool Unity games get locked into Windows because they used a native plugin that blocked them from other platforms. I'm not saying we won't add something like this, but it makes me nervous.

Thanks for the reply. I guess plugins are a great way to get the community involved in things you don't want to directly tackle, like ads.

And thanks for the flappy bird example. At first read a game in Ruby looks a bit weird, coming from other languages. I'll have to dig into it a bit more :)
