Hi all,

Now that I have some time, I picked again on ShinyCocos and I fixed some nasty bugs that caused random crashes. The latest release (which I hope to be able to release this week) even comes with an XCode template, so it's really easy to start creating ruby games for the iPhone :-)

My last tests are showing that this version is really, really stable (and fast!). You can check the code in my git repo:

http://github.com/funkaster/shinycocos

best!

@bradparks: You can, but I would strongly suggest you to not do it... if you want your game to be approved by Apple, that is :-)
In order to load/run a ruby script for the document's directory, you have just to do something like require filename.
However, it will fail, since the document's directory is not in the load path. You can change the load path in runtime, or when ShinyCocos sets it up at start, check http://github.com/funkaster/shinycocos/blob/master/Integration/ShinyCocos.m (in ShinyCocosSetup())

I'm not sure if Apple would care or not... They let lots of games that are scripted in LUA onto the App Store, so I don't see how this would be that different, as long as you're not downloading the code at runtime.

@matt exactly. You should not download code and execute it at runtime. That's why I don't advise running code from the Document's directory

hey... thanks for the info... I'd only like to use the Documents directory for development, not for appstore release... that way I can try out tons of stuff without actually having to compile the app.... thanks!

@bardparks that's a good idea! Maybe for development target we could include the documents directory... Could you add an issue on github[1] to remember me to implement that? :-)

@bradparks: it's included in latest version :-)

installation is a million times easier also:
```
git clone git://github.com/funkaster/shinycocos.git
cd shinycocos
rake install_template
```
then just lunch Xcode and choose new ShinyCocos Application :-)

EDIT: updated url

@Joe you're right... I just got the same error this morning. I'll let it know to the guy @github. If you want to download the code, you can use the link above

@Joe ok... it worked with the read-only git url:

git clone git://github.com/funkaster/shinycocos.git

:-D
The http read-only might be broken. I'll update the documentation

@rolando git clone git://github.com/funkaster/shinycocos.git worked. Thanks for your help and thanks for developing shinycocos. Now I have a real reason to learn ruby. Which won't be easy for me as I preferred to use Python in the past :-)

Cheers,
Joe

nice! :-D
glad to hear you could download it.

Yes, ruby is awesome. I just love it... I've been playing a lot with python in the last few months, specially for GAE, but I must say: I still love ruby and prefer it over python.

I'm even teaching ruby to my fiancee (she's an English teacher)

Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited).
