Move aside, Py, there’s a new sheriff in town!

Caution: This project is still developing.

While the Ruby land designs are mostly set, the C side code are all still experiments. Even the core components see occasional rewrites.

Moreöver, the lead maintainer is a C novice, so thank you early adopters for beïng prepared to encounter and report segfaults and core dumps 😅.

1. As betaware, only Windows and RubyInstaller2 without Devkit is tested currently. It also needs MinGW in the PATH. Things will go unexpected with the MSYS2 Devkit.

   • Support for Devkit and Linux are planned, but not for Windows going through WSL (but Linux support means yes for Godot Engine and Ruby both contained in WSL).

2. I might publish this project to RubyGems in the future. For now, download/clone this repo to a consistent place (i.e., not the Downloads folder) and run:

   gem install mingw-make
   gem install rake rake-compiler json
   rake
   rake clean # optional, delete leftovers

   If you don’t have symlink permissions, consider admin elevation for the rake line so the script symlinks Ruby DLLs rather than duplicating them.

3. Copy-paste or symlink generated/godot_rb.gdextension in your Godot Project (Unlike nearly all GDExtensions, this one uses absolute paths so multiple projects can share the same install.)

4. Have fun with real singletons! 💎 (No ideas on exporting projects currently…)
