Ruby in Stone
Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2011 3:15 pm
With FlowStone V2 coming any day now, you get the whole Ruby programming language built inside FlowStone!
This will mean that you can code your own low-level modules if you like. These can be from simple equations up to full windows programming with external dlls, & APIs etc. You can even use ruby to draw inside FlowStone, which is an easier way to manage co-ordinates etc. Ruby in Stone is also very accurate timing wise as it uses multi-media timers!
There are a few examples already posted in the examples area (Although you will need to wait for V2 before you can open them!):

If you want to start learning Ruby here is an on-line user guide:
http://www.rubyist.net/~slagell/ruby/index.html
For those of you that don't know Ruby, it is one of the fastest growing programming languages as it is simple and elegant with a much higher productivity than C++ or C#
