Building web-based board games only with Ruby
summary
Claims that full front-end work runs in Ruby using Opal (Ruby→JavaScript) and several author-created gems. It shows a Ruby virtual DOM (Hyalite virtual DOM), an isomorphic layer with shared models and server-side rendering (Menilite isomorphic framework), and a distributed-object client over WebSocket (drb-websocket / opal-drb). A shogi board demo is built but compiles slowly and the multiplayer opponent path is not working, so real-time play is incomplete.
