ruby-opengl
ruby-opengl consists of Ruby extension modules that are bindings for the OpenGL, GLU, and GLUT libraries. It is intended to be a replacement for -- and uses the code from -- Yoshi's ruby-opengl.
It's licensed under the MIT license. Please see the included MIT-LICENSE file for the terms of the license.
Current release: 0.60.0 (January 6, 2008)
Changes in this release:
- Automatic error checking for GL/GLU calls, enabled by default (see doc/tutorial)
- Added support for many more OpenGL extensions
- Support for Ruby 1.9.0+ (requires mkrf 0.2.3)
- Ton of bugfixes.
API Changes: - Boolean functions/parameters was changed to ruby true/false instead of GL_TRUE / GL_FALSE, which remains for compatibility
- glGet* functions now returns x instead of [x] when returning only one value
- Functions operating on packed strings (glTexture, gl*Pointer etc.) now also accepts ruby arrays directly
- Matrix handling functions now also accepts instances of Matrix class, or any class that can be converted to array
- glUniform*v and glUniformmatrix*v now does not require 'count' parameter, they will calculate it from length of passed array
- glCallLists needs type specifier (previously was forced to GL_BYTE)
- On ruby 1.9, glut keyboard callback returns char ("x") instead of integer so using 'if key == ?x' works on both 1.8 and 1.9
