Using Ruby as a scripting language within a C app

forgottenwizard

I'm working on building a MUD, and I would like to be able to use Ruby
as the scripting language within the MUD (such as with mobiles, rooms,
objects, ect).

I would like someone to give me an idea on how to do this, as well as an
idea on how much effort and time this will require.

If you are using C/C++ (or indeed C#) in .NET you can embed Ruby
programs using our free Ruby Connector:

For some ideas on writing adventure type games in Ruby, you may find my
Ruby adventure game tutorial of use:

Aside from being entertaining, what does this have to do with embedding
Ruby in a C-based MUD engine?

OK, I missed the smiley, <aside> tag etc.

For a more useful link, see
http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/html/ext...

The section "Embedding a Ruby Interpreter" is brief, but much of the
preceding stuff about VALUE and so on is relevant. There's enough to get
started with experimenting anyway.

In any case, a simple Google for "embedded ruby" turns up a bunch of
useful stuff. The first hit is http://metaeditor.sourceforge....

None of that is specific to the problem domain of MUDs (apart from
_why's page), but once you have an embedded ruby interpreter, what you
do with it is up to you.

I'd question why you'd want to write any of the rest of it in C, but
that's a different issue :-)
