Cool use of Ruby as extension language

[Lennon Day-Reynolds]

From Slashdot:

"...Enterbrain's 'RPG Maker XP has been released [for Japanese PC
users]...You can directly program your own scripts..."

Aside from being a cool application in general, it seems that one of
the major new features is the addition of the "Ruby Game Scripting
System," which embeds Ruby as a scripting langauge for in-game logic.

I think I may just have to download the demo and see if my (admittedly
rusty) Japanese is enough to at least tinker.

Yup, two RMXP projects have sprung up on RubyForge already:

Good times...

Heh. I was thinking it's a shame the author used "return" so many times.
