I would suggest using either YARV for speed's concerns.  However, it doesn't have full support for some 1.9.2 features so I would suggest either starting with The standard VM.  I don't suggest JRuby.

A couple years ago I found Ruby, but then I switched to C++. :S

Now I want to get back into Ruby! I just need to get a development environment set up again. :P

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

If you have some money, I would suggest using RubyMine 3.0, which is a totally souped up Ruby-Exclusive IDE that is no less than a dream environment for a Ruby programmer.  Otherwise, use NetBeans 6.9.2 with Ruby support built in or 7.0 and download the Ruby plugin.

I'm going to try out RubyMine. I just installed Ruby and I can't wait to get back into Rubygame development now that I have some C++ experience with SFML. XD

I love the gem feature. It makes installing libraries easy for once. O.O

Indeed, gems are indeed extremely awesome :)

With RubyMine, you'll have to eventually buy it, but you can get a free demo for 30 days.  I personally use Netbeans right now due to my Mine license being in limbo ATM.

I just started programming with Ruby, and I must say I'm loving it.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Sounds awesome! :D yeah, it I a fun language.  Thing is, unlike C/C++, there's always new principals to learn.  With C/C++ there aren't as many prinicipals and you'll get more into optimizing and little tricks than you will be learning a whole new part of the language.  With that being said, I would be happy to provide any help or comments on code here :) and, I have some real cool code condensing tricks I found that I'm dying to share :P
