Where's the best place I can go to learn Ruby?

Postby Warkauze » Mon Jul 18, 2022 10:02 pm

Where's the best place I can go to learn Ruby for synth development?

Also I know this question probably gets asked a lot, but is their any news on 64 bit support?

I think Flowstone itself...has become a perfect place to learn ruby....
There's lots of places online...that you've probably already found...so it's down to personal taste..
My favourites for learning ruby are the Apps I've downloaded..from Google play Store..
They're really good..and best of all..they are Mobile...go anywhere... :D
The Ruby Core is essential....if you haven't found it already....Hope this helps... :)

I agree. Flowstone itself is best. It provides a graphical backend for Ruby, that the original doesn't have (instead a command line interpreter, really bad), and it helps you directly communicating with Flowstone (which the original of course also doesn't provide). You can do pretty much every simple example code you find online. But, you can't work with code that's to be loaded from files and you can't use the sleep command (because Flowstone will ask Ruby 100 times per second, if everything's fine).
Whenever you see a "print" command in Ruby example code, use "watch" instead.

Also, read chapter 8 of the user guide. It is the source I used to get fit in Ruby.

The official Ruby API documentation is here (2.5 is the version embedded in Flowstone 4, if you only work in FS 3.x, you need to switch to the Core API of Ruby 1.9.3):
https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.0/
If you scroll down, you will see two columns, classes and methods. Every entry is clickable and leads to its documentation. And every entry you see there is usable in Flowstone as well.

Well..I'm not involved in any way with FS4..someone else will hopefully answer your question.
I'm 3.06....probably till I die... 8-)
Note: have you noticed how slow this forum is moving...I think everyone has migrated to the
FS4 at Slack and Discord...so you might get a better answer there... ;)

It's not really news. Maik said a year or two ago, that the next version will be called FS4.
