iOS Games with RubyMotion

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

A Ruby-based toolchain (RubyMotion) compiles to App Store-ready binaries and combines with a Cocos2D wrapper (joybox) and Box2D to produce real iOS games. The demos show a working Tetris clone (game logic covered by rspec tests) and a physics-driven platformer with box2d that implements a game loop, 60 fps rendering, camera follow, collision detection, sound, and tap-to-retry. Most features run correctly despite occasional demo glitches, and the core projects come together in a weekend.
