Errm Ruby is the programming language so if you don't already have it installed then you just install it. Just same way you use Perl. Have a look at http://www.ruby-lang.com. Ruby on Rails is a web development framework built in Ruby and you also have to install that(rails) aswell. It listens to port 3000 but instead of saying crap here would advise you have a look at the official site too, http://rubyonrails.org/

Maximip:
All this experimentation has already being done by the people that created the engine. For Example when you create your objects in an enging, you can just assign any physics property you want it to have without necessarily knowing how it works.

How a metal/ball/wood/human being should react when it hits another object has already been integrated, you just have to choose.

it's just like saying "why use c++ when you don't understand how it's being compiled to machine language". Sm1 has already done that work so you can spend your own time on greater things.
Thats not my point. My point is, you invent the wheel before using an already built one cheesy

[size=15pt]Am not saving and parsing. Someone has done some work or whatever and the results are in the text file. All I have to do for them is format the results and display on a screen. Simple![/size]

Did you actually mean another host? Because if its just another name then you can do that from whatsoever control panel you were given by your host. So which is it?
WebmastersRe: Domain Name Needed by Fayimora(m): 8:55pm On Aug 06, 2011
You pay for it. You can use this. There are others but thats what I use.

Well radio/checkbox all the same to me. So ma point still holds.
ProgrammingRe: Help On Php Code Simpllification by Fayimora(m): 3:19pm On Aug 06, 2011
Ok.

sample form. .
<input type = 'checkbox' name = 'foods[]' value = 'chicken' />Chicken

<input type = 'checkbox' name = 'foods[]' value = 'beef' />Beef

<input type = 'checkbox' name = 'foods[]' value = 'pork' />Pork

OR
<input type = 'checkbox' name = 'foods[chicken]' value = 'chicken' />Chicken

<input type = 'checkbox' name = 'foods[beef]' value = 'beef' />Beef

<input type = 'checkbox' name = 'foods[pork]' value = 'pork' />Pork
dats if you want an associative array. You get your form data by POST and you store $_POST['foods'] into a variable  and just loop through it and do/check whatever you want. Give it  shot!

[size=15pt]why use a game engine when you dnt understand the basics? Anyways to do anything effective interms of collision or motion in general, you have yo remember your physics. Go back to your physics and see what happens when 2 balls collide. Inspect everything. Hint: What happens to the distance between them ?[/size]
ProgrammingRe: Help On Php Code Simpllification by Fayimora(m): 11:26pm On Aug 04, 2011
[size=15pt]Yeah you could just use an array instead. So the name of each checkbox/radio shud be somefin like `arrayName[]`[/size]

[size=15pt]Hey man dont forget everyone is moving into web development for some annoying reasons. You don't have to know much Ruby to work with Rails. You should know that. I know someone that is a Boss when it comes to rails but trust me, he ain't that good when it comes to Ruby.[/size]

ProgrammingRe: Ruby Programmers And Programming by Fayimora(m): 10:24pm On Aug 03, 2011
[size=15pt]Good point. I personally program in ruby and work on rails too. But trust me, not more than 3 people would take this post serious. Want to know why? I have come to notice that most people have this motto which is "If it wont bring money to the table then forget it". For me I dnt give a damn about the money for now so am always open. I have looked at a couple of Nigerian jobs and trust me its either java, .Net C/C++ for soft dev and when it comes to web dev is PHP all the way, then you have .Net in some cases.

Learning Ruby ain't no problem. Working with Ruby/Rails ain't no problem. The problem is who wants it. To be honest, I think this is something that should be directed towards the so called "employers" that aren't ready to grow. I might be wrong but this is how i see this:

You design a system for some company in ruby, you get paid and all that crap. Now when its time for maintenance, they employ up to 20 developers(one after the other) and also fire them. Why? because you can hardly find a good Ruby developer. Now the company gets pissed and asks you to maintain it. You know you cant cause its gonna slow your other jobs down so you now have to re-write the whole system in an acceptable lang, say Java. How would you feel? sad Too bad init?

Funny enough this isin't something that happens in Nigeria alone but I  think its very common. You must use a widely accepted language and lets face it, Ruby ain't.

Look at this stats as of now(when am writing this reply). Note that its worldwide.
On stack overflow, there are 145, 538 tags for Java, 133,983 for PHP, 45,571 for Rails and 11,789 for Ruby. You seeing what am saying now?

EDIT:
Oh and yeah, the OP ain't jokin. Ruby is some badass lang like Perl. cheesy

iGravity:
I am working on a Rails site - the idea is classified else I would have ran my mouth here. I am also working on a Ruby gem - English Numbers (not yet on Github). This should make coding read more like English. Basucally it's an extension of the Fixnum and Bignum classes to add methods that make declarations sound more like English. Ruby is pretty awesome but it can be made better. Once I have the gem up on Github, I will post the link here and anyone who wishes to help is welcome.
You mean for rails right? That would be awesome if you nail it, Would be the first to use it, lol

webdezzi:
1. please checkout bucky on youtube, he has kicka55  videos that will not only get you up and running but make you love Java.
[size=15pt]Every good programmer i know warns against such, myself inclusive. Programming style matters, if you don't have your style then sorry, your shitty. If you are going to watch ny youtube vids make sure you have a style. Kinda difficult to explain in words but those vids force you to follow a particular style, reading detailed books is way better as you learn something and you manipulate it yourself. Its just like reading `Headfirst java` when you havent done anything java before, learning OOP without even knowing what its made up of.

Am not saying you shouldn't watch those vids but its good not to make them your number 1 priority.

I always end up typing the same thing always so am just gonna pass a link. Have a look at this[/size]
