what

This is the modeled, text-only (for now? or permanently?) version of the game. It's implemented in ruby using the game dev gem gosu. gosu provides a 60 fps game loop with draw and update hooks; the screen is painted manually using images and fonts.

I am thinking right now that the ruby version of the game will be useful for modeling/balancing later in this process. I can drive automated tests of the game logic and stat values for objects as they finish encounters and level up.

install and usage

# get `gosu` and some other gems
bundle install

# run the first stab at all of this
# early battle ideas
ruby ./test.rb

# battle ideas, very similar to the first, but using gem `aasm` for state changes
ruby ./test_aasm.rb

# welcome screen, new/continue game, persisting with save file
# uses handmade non-validated state classes
# this is the 'current build'
ruby ./artisinal_handmade_states.rb

works on windows

Install Git for Windows as well as the RubyInstaller packaged version of ruby. Even pry works in powershell!

works on linux

Gosu has system dependencies that will need to be installed so that it can install and build: https://github.com/gosu/gosu/wiki/Getting-Started-on-Linux#dependencies
