Is Ruby good for making video games?

Question

I want to create video games in Ruby is this recommended and or possible? If Ruby not the right language for video games what is?

Answer 1

I won't say it's not good since I haven't written code for such, but in the real world C++ is more preferable for building games

Answer 2

Not really.

Answer 3

We use to make a few ruby games around the shop - nothing for the public - just goofing around... It is not one of my first gotos as Python or C++... really started having more fun with simple JavaScript libraries...

Like every language Ruby has its pros and cons.... look forward to seeing what you come up with...

Answer 4

Ok

Answer 5

Not sure, but many reliable options are (but not limited to) C++ with SDL2 or SFML or you can use C# with unity, or use python and pygame. Good luck!

Answer 6

nah

Answer 7

python is easy to learn
try it out
good luck

Answer 8

Generally you don't want to use interpreted languages for performance critical tasks.
As others have mentioned, C++ and C# are the go to standards. Ruby is mostly used for the web development and is highly dependent on its framework Rails.

Answer 9

C++ is the preferred language for video game programming. Its the only language they taught me in college for it - and most of my professors were video game programmers who’ve agreed that C++ with OOP mindset is essentially the industry standard.

Answer 10

U may try c sharp and java .... Through unity 3d games can be easily developed with c sharp...

Answer 11

ruby is kinda trash lol
