Thanks for this, I always love looking at behind-the-scenes stuff. Do you know if you guys have produced the first browser game… on rails?

I’m pretty sure there’ve been a couple other RoR games. Whether or not they succeeded is another story.

A lot of people consider RoR pretty slow (“Ruby on Snails” is a common turn of phrase) but I don’t think it seems that slow here I think once it’s loaded up it’s just as fast as anything else.

I’ve been designing a browser game in my spare time that I plan on writing in Ruby. It’s a very nice language for almost any application.
