Programming in ruby

[penguinplus]

I am thinking about programming in ruby. I was woundering if you can make programs like in NBC with it. If you can I would like to know how. Thanks.

As far as I know, the only Ruby-based control for the NXT is with ruby-nxt. However this is a tele-control system using Bluetooth and sending remote commands to NXT from a PC running the Ruby code.

hello penguinplus

Once again, google is your friend http://www.google.fr/search?q=Ruby+NXT
First entry: http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-nxt/
Second entry: http://ruby-nxt.rubyforge.org/
All you need to start programming in ruby for the nxt is there... (sourceforge is full of gems, isn't it?)

If you want to program a ruby virtual machine able to interpret the ruby code on the fly, you will be good inspirated to start an in-deep reading of the lejos java virtual machine implementation you can easily find here:http://lejos.sourceforge.net/ (Nxt Xtended Toy)

Hope this help!
