Is anyone using Ruby for game programming?

I have used Ruby for game programming multiple times.

To clarify though, I build turn-based strategy games that don't have
very complex needs. I don't do any realtime rendering or 3D graphics.

For my needs, Ruby is excellent. I can speak for the other cases
though.

For 2D game development:

Absolutely, if you're interested in 2d game programming, check out
libraries like Gosu
http://code.google.c...
If you want to do 3d programming, take a look at Shattered Ruby, I
think there are also Ogre3D bindings for ruby as well.

Current implementations of Ruby aren't exactly the fastest, but
they're great for getting started.

I've made a couple of little projects in the past that some friends of
mine have played around with. Nothing big or public so far.

However, I do have a turn-based strategy game in development now that
is intended for public release. I need probably a few more months
before it will be fully ready to show, but it's moving along.

My game is one of the primary reasons I decided it was time to let
Ruby Quiz move on. I want to give myself the time to finish it up
right.

I made this game in Ruby:
http://www.socoder.net/index.php?sho...

I've tried to make others too, and I do love programming in Ruby, but
it's just too slow. I've made some things which will run perfectly fine
in say C#, but terribly slow in Ruby. Personally I wouldn't recommend
using Ruby.

I used OpenGL to the graphics for my game above, but when I've used it I
have really liked Rubygame:

One of my plans has always been to build online turn based strategy games,
but I never have the time to do so properly. I mean not developing the games
per se, but just taking board games and making an online site to play them.
Right now I have nearly finished an Alhambra
(http://www.boardgamegeek.com...)
implementation, but just the engine with a CLI. My plan was to develop some
simple games like that one or Citadels (http://www.boardgamegeek.co...)
and based on that experience, then build a framework to develop online games
easily.

I was also developing a Diplomacy Adjudicator, but that was in Java before
I started learning Ruby, and never finished it either :-(

I don't have too much time now (two little kids take away any hope of sitting
at the computer for more than 5 minutes), but if you need a hand for some
simple tasks I might be able to help...
