Hi all,

After a lot of time, here I'm again with a new release of ShinyCocos? If you don't know what ShinyCocos is, I can tell you this: programming you cocos2d-iphone game using ruby.

Go get it now:

http://github.com/funkaster/shinycocos/downloads

What's new in this version:

* Really stable
* ruby 1.8.7
* Shipped as a static library
* XCode templates: now creating a new ShinyCocos app is really easy!
* Template Rakefile: build and simulate from the command line! (you won't need to open Xcode!)
* Included cocos2d-iphone in the source code
* Building/installation process greatly simplified

if you want to know more about ShinyCocos, you can check the github project page:

or check this thread:

Enjoy!

Very nice work, ruby is an excellent choice. I'm impressed you've managed to squeeze it onto the iphone.

Is it possible to write a game using the standard cocos template and then invoke ruby scripts as required? For example animation or level scripts, or does it assume everything is scripted, main game loop etc.

Are the scripts obfuscated in anyway in the final app?

@rolando

This is very cool, thank you. I'm going to mess around with it this weekend.

What version of Cocos2d-iPhone are you including?

@mhussa it could be possible. Since this release of ShinyCocos produces a static library, you could include the static library and initialize ShinyCocos when you need it.

@cjl I'm using v0.8. For the next release I plan to use v0.99

@mhussa yes, the scripts can (and it is recommended to) be obfuscated. I have an internal version of an "obfuscator" working. I'm still thinking how to release it.
I think it won't be released under any Open Source License, but it will be available for free for any ShinyCocos app.

Thanks rolando, its on my to-try-out list.

Not having to compile and just running scripts dynamically could be a big time-saver. Is debugging mostly by NSLogs?

@mhussa keep in mind that dinamic loading of scripts is enabled only for debugging builds. I explicitly kept that functiinality out for the release build, since Im sure apple wont like that :-)
