As the title would suggest, I threw away a good portion of the day on my romantic, emotional choice to redo everything in Ruby.<\/p>\n

I… had a wakeup call. Using Ruby\/SDL was my reality check.<\/p>\n

In short, the thing threw tantrums at random, denied having methods that the manual listed, and generally misbehaved.<\/p>\n

I’m not going to sit here and rant. I’ve got things to do. I just want to take back what I said in my last post.<\/p>\n

I’m sorry for all this emotion, but I get alot more wishy-washy when I don’t feel as much pressure. (IE: When the game doesn’t count for a score, and I plan on working on it past the compo anyway)<\/p>\n

I’ma shut my trap and get back to work now.<\/p>\n

Peace.<\/p>\n
