WAR

What

WAR is a framework for creating “wargames” in ruby. It aims to provide the basics (and hopefully more) needed in order to create a game. Sample games are included with the distribution.

The basics

WAR seeks to focus on declarative code and convention over configuration. As such, it makes fairly extensive use of metaprogramming behind the scenes in order to be able to reduce the amount of development time and skill required to create a game. It is hoped that WAR will help people focus on gameplay rather than on nity-grity details.

Demonstration of usage

Please look at the tutorials from the navigation bar to the left.
